RE: 64-bit Linux On 32-bit processors

Biswajyoti,

When u say 64 bit it implies that the machine code is 64bit wide. U cant
run it on a 32 bit machine. But the otherway round is due to down-ward
compatibility of those machines.

If u get somekind of emulator it might work else there is jsut NO way
what so ever that u could get this to work. Its a purely absurd
proposition.
