Hi all,
I want to do a full re-install and configure the most optimal environment for Lazarus programming. My idea is to use ArchLinux as the base OS and want to optimize for virtual machine performance (for hosting platform emulation for cross-compiler testing mainly in mind.)
The idea is to have a highly configurable yet minimalist system that can manage the unique challenges of cross-compiling utilizing VMs.
My main concern is which is the optimal base machine currently. Should I play it safe with a 32 bit OS or should I go with the 64 bit. I am on a rather old system (2.4 celeron, 2gb ram, nvidia card, 140gb hd).
Is the 64 bit system too bleeding edge for what I have to work from maybe?
Thanks in advance
