Hi, I have just purchased a new Dell Server, to run with Plesk. I have
just moved from an Apple XServe and seeing that OS X derived from
FreeBSD, I felt that it was the best choice to start with. My only
dilemma is, I am wanting to run the system in 64-bit, with using the
Intel Quad 2.5Ghz Xeon, but I am unsure as to which version I should
be downloading.
For plesk, I need to use version 6.1 and had read somewhere that I
would use the AMD 64-bit version, can you confirm if this is correct
for an Intel processor?
Justin,
Yes, you want amd64 if this is a modern 64-bit Intel CPU. As was pointed
out recently when someone asked more or less the same question, the
"amd" refers to the architecture, not the chip manufacturer.
I know nothing about plesk, but are you sure you *must* have 6.1? The
legacy production release is now at 6.3. I've never built a 64-bit
machine, but given the present situation I'd absolutely go with 7.0 for
a new install, at least for a 32-bit system.
A note, if I may. I have been on this list for many years and can say
without hesitation that you're unlikely to get an answer when your
subject line reads "Hi". You may want to repost with a subject line that
more accurately describes your question.
HTH.
