Which one to choose: CentOS 32/64bit?
| Posted by finlogo, 10-09-2008, 01:10 PM |
| I'm planning to order a VPS with CentOS5. Should I select 32/64 bit version? Both are available.
64bit version attracts me, but is there any compatibility problems with older stuff?

| Both are available , it depends totally on the applications which you are going to use on the server.

| Are you going to use any control panel, what applications are you going to run, is that a managed or unmanaged VPS, is your provider comfortable with 64 bit. Ask yourself few question to decide which one suits you better.

| I think people should stop being afraid of 64bit otherwise we wont evolve.
Imagine if everyone still used 16bit OS just because of backwards compatibility

| For a VPS, use 32 bit.
