I got a new AMD 64bit Laptop. And eager to install a 64bit Linux and the test the power. Any Idea which one to try. Any one laid hands on it ?
Wow! I have been contemplating buying one :) What make and model is it? What was the damage to your bank balance?
Debian, Fedora, SuSE, Mandrake, CentOS (RHEL clone) are a few that have AMD64 editions.
I would suggest that you try the AMD64 edition of whichever 32 bit distro you are using now. I have been using SuSE 9.2/AMD64 for the past year and I am quite happy with it.

Well i got the latest (in india) Acer Aspire 5002 with AMD Turion ML-30 processor. It rocks i also have a toshiba 1.8ghz centrino , when i compare i think AMD is a monster. though laptop comes with 256MB ram i doubled it. only draback is itz 400FSB :( ... there are some wonderful machines in international market ( i mean USofA) like HP nx6125 turion 2 ghz ... but as usual asian countries get the let over. so i think this HP machine will come in india in next 6month ( or later) abt acer also has good machine in UK and US . not in India :( i think these chaps are least bothered ( damn pissing)
Abt Linux for Turion, i tried Fedora core 4 and Ubuntu( modified to my requirements ) and both are equally good. and much faster then windows for sure.
and plus point Turion processor doesnot have heat problem ... anymore
