Hey guys im pretty new to this list and pretty new to linux in general I&#39;m currently using debian on my current setup. But because I recently had a spending spree on ebay I now have a athlon64 and a new motherboard. What im wondering is how much more difficult is setting up and using a 64bit version of linux?

I&#39;ve no experience of 64bit so wont make a comment, the other guys and girls will be more than happy to help you.

Utilising a Rolling Release System packages are regularly updated and an ISO release is just a snapshot to the stable packages at that time. So there&#39;s no need for a fresh install the command &#39;pacman –Syu&#39; upgrades the whole system.
