As was mentioned earlier in the thread, this isn't a very good place to discuss this. AFAIK know the debian-mentors list is a place for people who want to learn about _contributing_to_ Debian, it isn't a place to discuss _developing_on_ Debian. > first, i think maybe it's necessory for me to post this topic here, > for i'm a newbie, have few knowledge on linux, so i heavily depend on > the debian system. if i ask questions at other places, they may not > use debian, then their solution may not apply for me, or hard to apply > for my poor knowledge.

It does aid in understanding how a computer works, on a very basic level, but I'm not sure I'd suggest anyone do that on a CPU used in a modern desktop computer. I'd pick an older and (arguably) simpler CPU, something like an m68k or maybe a mips. I have to admit I don't know what AMD64 assembly is like though. > thanks for your suggestions, hope i will get more help here next time > i encounter difficulties. :) > > On Sun, Jun 22, 2008 at 12:51 PM, Jack T Mudge III > <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: > > On Saturday 21 June 2008 09:14:31 pm Star Liu wrote: > > Greetings! > > I'm a newbie in assembly language programming, for I worked as a C# > > programmer on microsoft platform in the past years, but now I > want to > > know clearly how operating system and softwares are executed, so > I begin > > to learn assembly language programming, I have learned some 32 > bit asm > > coding, and want to move to 64 bit coding.
