HARDWARE<br />

Next-generation PC<br />

Most recent computers have 64 bit Intel or AMD processors, compatible with<br />

older 32 bit processors; the soware compiled for “i386” architecture thus<br />

works. On the other hand, this compatibility mode does not fully exploit the<br />

capabilities of these new processors. This is why Debian provides soware<br />

for “ia64” architecture for Intel Itanium chips and “amd64” for AMD chips.<br />

This last also works with Intel “em64t” processors, which are very similar to<br />

AMD64 processors.<br />

3.2.5. Installing and Configuring the Selected Services<br />

Once Debian is installed, we must install and configure one by one all of the services that this<br />

computer must host. The new configuration must take into consideration the prior one in order<br />

to ensure a smooth transition. All the information collected in the first two steps are useful to<br />

successfully complete this part.<br />
