4 gb Debian “Etch” cont.
March 12th, 2008
I have now switched to the 686 bigmem kernel. I find that enables my 4gb ram and also is compatible with the nvidia driver.
The only limitation I see with “Etch” is the older glibc (2.3.6) which limits you with some newer applications. I could upgrade to “Lenny” however, I prefer to continue to evaluate “Etch” for now.
