Hello Maurice!

 MK> the very  first x86_64 ttylinux if the truth be told.

 MK> How about you?

No specific linux installation yet. I've only been using  
different live-CD versions from time to time to test  
compatibility and performance on the aging machines that I  
have.  If/when it comes down to it, I will probably use Mint on  
my Thinkpad T60.

I did try Manjaro 64bit on an old Dell desktop a few years ago,  
and it performed quite quite will with the NVIDIA video and  
supported the 64bit command-set support on basically just 4GB  
ram max - but a 32bit OS might be more logical for that one.
