Hi All,

Just a quick one. I have a server here which has an Intel Xeon 64bit CPU.
Originally installed SuSE enterprise 9 on it and it gave me a loveley
message at the start of the installation which said "Cool Hardware but
you are installing a 32bit OS on 64bit hardware".

Am I right in thinking that the 64bit intels have the AMD 64bit
instructions? Therefore If I download ubuntu-5.10-install-amd64.iso it
should install fine?

Cheers
Robert
