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.

We don't need no 64-bit computers. My Atari 400 with 4k of RAM, no hard drive, no floppy drive, works great. Just load and save stuff using an audio tape. No one should need more than 4k or RAM or a hard drive.

(Note: The above is the first "PC" I ever used. My best is an 800mhz G4 iMac now. Eventually I'll get to 64 bit computing...)

Seriously though. Can anyone seriously think that everything is optimized for 64 bit computing when it came out a couple months ago? Two years from now you'll be wondering how we ever got along with 32 bit computers... jeez. Talk about impatience.
