Re: broken documentation link

Hello! I just recently started lurking here as I've got an Athlon 64
system on order and I'm a Debian user/developer. I went to [1] to read a
bit about the basics and at the bottom of that page there is a link -
"Documentation (HOWTO and hardware compatibility list)". When I click that
link mozilla says "You have received an invalid certificate. ... Your
certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate issued
by the same certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing
a unique serial number." Does anyone else see this problem?
No -- works fine. You may have to clear out some of your
certificate cache.
I'm currently debating whether to run the x86 port or the AMD64 port on
this machine, and any working links to help inform me about the options
would be most appreciated! I need to be able to run Sun's JDK, CrossOver
Office, etc. but another big part of what I do is C++ development using
g++, so I'm conflicted....
Sun's JDK is available for both 32 and amd64; CrossOver will
still have to run in 32-bit chroot, though VMware now runs
great in pure64. Debian amd64 is very stable in my experience,
though I maintain it somewhat conservatively -- no automatic
upgrades, no new kernels unless there are features I need,
etc. The sarge distribution would be ideal, once it's ready.
I've had VMware crash the machine a few times, in two
predictable situations -- the main one being that it cannot
handle full-screen in a dual-screen setup under the
proprietary nVidia driver. The other was when there was
no space left on the root drive. Not elegant, but easy to
avoid.
My point is that the Debian software does a great job and
I've never had a crash; a beautiful piece of work.
