Synaptic is a cool GUI for apt, so you do not need the console. It enables you to easily search your repositories, install, remove packages or whatever. But, yes basically it's all console, and if you'd like to there are some fine GUIs to chose fro...  [Read More]

32-bit Windows cannot use more than 3GB of RAM, so part of the 4GB of RAM you just mentioned yourself would be entirely useless. This is the leading argument most people use for 64-bit, and is also why 64-bit is inevitable and not just a 'maybe'.OK,...  [Read More]
