Good News for AMD64 Users
It is again important to mention that the CD that comes with this book is designed to work on machines with i386-based processors, which pretty much covers the vast majority of PCs out there. If your machine has an AMD64, you will be glad to know that it will also work, albeit not in 64-bit mode. Sorry, but no go.
Fortunately there is good news for those of you who were a bit disappointed by the content of that previous paragraph. Ubuntu is available in a native AMD64 version. Check Appendix A for information on how to get it. The information provided there will also be of use to i386 users who happen to lose or damage the disk that comes with this book.
