[Closed - reverted to 32bit LL+Wine] Is 64bit Wine OK and what version is in LL
N4RPS:
Hello!
It is my belief that playing around trying to figure out how to set up everything you want to include teaches you more about Linux than a course does!

That's a relief - Many thanks Valtam :)

Resource Usage says Mem 397/7268MB <-- theres your 8gb ram
Size: 4096 MB
Size: 4096 MB <-- theres 2 x sticks of 4gb ram.
Enjoy :)
Alan_uk:
OK. Installed 32bit LL and back to where I was before. Took 2 hours.
Acid test. Is LL lite using all my 8MB memory?
Resource Usage says Mem 397/7268MB

I ask this question as I read somewhere that LL 32bit kernel did not have PAE enabled and that the kernal needs to be recompiled - I hope that info is out of date!
Alan_uk:
Yes it does have pae support.
I shall mull a reinstall as 32bit LL over lunch...........
I had already installed 32bit LL on an old Intel Dell PC. So as an experiment I used that to install IrfanView. It went much smoother than the new PC with 64bit LL. Just a few, it seems, minor error messages. I still had to go to Settings and set "Launch GNOME services on startup".
I've now wiped my new PC and now installing 32bit LL as I write. Must say, install and all the updates is very quick compared to WinDoz :)
