Kernal advice

Unread post by laughingbuddha »

Hi all,

My server doesn't support 64bit OS and at the moment I'm running a ART i686 PAE kernal. Is this a good idea, or should I load the i386 kernal instead?

Thanks.
Matt

If you have 4 GB RAM or more, you'll need to use a kernel with PAE support or you won't be able to use all of your RAM.

Fare enough, I'll stick with it. It won't cause any issues with programs running on it, such as clam, php and the like?
