32 v 64 bit

2011-12-16 Thread Fedora User
I'm down to a half screen on my Dell laptop. Looks like I'll buy myself a new toy - presumably the week between Xmas and New Years day. One dumb question: Assuming supporting architecture, can someone quantify the benefit of the 64-bit distro? Thanks! -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproj

WiDi anyone?

2011-12-17 Thread Fedora User
It is strange working on a machine with only a half of a screen. Anyway, that will be resolved on Tuesday. But I digress. Has anyone heard of a WiDi for Linux project? Maybe a wrapper? For those unaware, this is Intel's wireless display streaming protocal. With Win7 and a $50.00 adaptor connected

64 bit issue with wine/F16

2011-12-22 Thread Fedora User
I filed a bug report so I am just bringing this to the attention of users. Turns out that wine installs duplicated 32 bit and 64 bit packages. With dependencies, it works out to an additional 96 32-bit packages and about an additional quarter gig of space. For example wine-64 requires wine-core-64
