Re: Newbie in AMD64

Jose,
Have Wheezy on pretty much the same type of hardware as you are 
installing onto and works fine.  I always try to use current netinst or 
card sized iso as it makes more sense to bring files over net rather 
than make a bunch of dvd's and then find a problem halfway thru w. one 
of the writes or a bad disk.  It also takes a lot less time to install 
rather than burn and then install.  One hint, if you get stuck in any 
place on your install, keep trying by going back a few steps, even to 
formatting, to get past a hickup that may occur.  If you can't get thru 
the install the first time, burn a new iso and try again.  There have 
been times I've had to do that but it will finally work fine.  You'll 
love Debian when you get used to it.  HTH's
Cheers.
Whit
