First Cup of Ubuntu
Hi;
I just installed UBUNTU 12.04.1 and have a quick question about the file name.
The install file was named ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso
What does the amd part stand for in the name? Does it refer to the processor brand?
I have an intel processor, should I have installed a different version?
Thanks
Sean

It's called amd64 because AMD first developed the 64-bit instruction set which all modern processors now use, both AMD and Intel.
