Re: Newbie in AMD64



Jose,
Have Wheezy on pretty much the same type of hardware as you are installing onto and works fine.  I always try to use current netinst or card sized iso as it makes more sense to bring files over net rather than make a bunch of dvd's and then find a problem halfway thru w. one of the writes or a bad disk.  It also takes a lot less time to install rather than burn and then install.  One hint, if you get stuck in any place on your install, keep trying by going back a few steps, even to formatting, to get past a hickup that may occur.  If you can't get thru the install the first time, burn a new iso and try again.  There have been times I've had to do that but it will finally work fine.  You'll love Debian when you get used to it.  HTH's
Cheers.
Whit
