Hello,
I recently acquired an eee PC that I installed Linux on. I'm not a big fan of Firefox (I'm not saying it's a bad browser at all, far from it!), I prefer Chrome.
When downloading, I'm offered a 32-bit version and a 64-bit version.
My question is: What is the difference between the two?
Thank you in advance for your replies.

Hello;
In a console or terminal; you type
And to answer LeZozio's question; there is no theoretical difference between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. However, on a 64-bit operating system; to run a 32-bit software; you typically need something extra. For Windows; there is wow (Windows on Windows which serves as an emulator) and for Linux, you need to install libraries (I can’t tell you which ones off the top of my head though.).
Azusse the processor is one thing; but if you install a 32-bit operating system; even if your processor supports 64-bit; you will only be able to install applications in 32-bit.
In a console or terminal; you type
uname -aif in the response you have x86_64; then you have a 64-bit OS so you can install the 64-bit version (but you can also install the 32-bit version) if you don’t have that then it should be x86_32 (or just x86; I've never paid attention.) and you must strictly install the 32-bit version.

Hello,
it's a question of your computer's processor, whether it's 32 or 64 bits.
On Windows, I easily know how to find out which version of Windows we have (and therefore which processor), but on Linux, I have no idea.
Look for the specifications of your product.
(Even if it's an EeePC, I doubt it has a 64-bit processor.)

Comment vérifier si Chrome est en version 32 ou 64 bits quand on l'a déjà installé ?
