32-Bit vs 64-Bit Linux
August 13th, 2010 by ComputerBob
In my home office, 2 of my 3 PCs have 32-bit CPUs, so I run a 32-bit version of Debian Linux on them.
But my newest PC has a 64-bit CPU.
So I run a 32-bit version of Debian Linux on it.
What?!!
Yes, there are several good reasons to run a 32-bit Linux distro on a 64-bit desktop PC.
Here are some of them — followed by many thoughtful reader comments, both for and against the idea.
