Athlon 64 Woes
| 19/7/2004 | Posted by Pete under General |
My shiny new Athlon 64 + associated gadgetry arrived a while ago, and windows has reinstalled like a dream – well easier than I thought it would be anyway. Couple of drivers proved tricky, but nothing major went wrong.
Linux, however was another story. I insisted on installing athlon 64 versions of all the software. The only distro that offers a decent amount of it is debian http://www.debian.org/ and it is so far proving itself to be quite unstable, which is understandable, as the code wasn’t written with 64 bit compatibility in mind.
X windows is the biggy tho. It highlights things using reverse video, instead of a nice coloured selection marker. Probably my fault as I don’t know enough about debian and x-windows to solve it.
If any one knows how to solve this, I may even be grateful.
Cheers, Pete.

Its been a while since I last wrote here. A long while. But there is some good news – I am looking at getting http://www.thinkjesus.co.uk back on track. I have got together a project team and am starting to get some content together.
Work is going ok, although it seems to be a bit boring at the moment, there’s not a huge amount happening there.
Another bright note – I’ve had to order up a new Motherboard and CPU, with associated gadgetry, due to the untimely death of my last motherboard. So thatshould arrive in the next few days. Its my first real experience with the Athlon 64 chip, and I’m looking forward to reinstalling windows again 
I should really try and blog a bit more, for all those people that were reading this before but not commenting. You can comment if you like, you don’t need to register or anything to do so. I will remove anything however, that is not in english or I deem offensive. As this is my site, my decision will be final.
