Linux A couple of weeks ago TerraSoft released preliminary 64-bit ISO's of their flagship product, Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1 (YDL), especially for owners of Apple's new G5 machines. I was pining for a chance to get an open source OS running in 64-bit mode so I quickly downloaded the three ISO's.

Nothing. But it is nice to have it because it brings some speed boost and because it is the right time to have it and because you paid for it.

Once upon a time, in the 1980s, people were running on 16bit computers and I am sure some people at the time was asking the same question: "why do you need 32bit for?"
