Here are the important notes for the 64-bit version of Kahel OS (Desktop Edition).
Kahel OS maintains a complete Gnome distro under only just 1 CD installer, complete with OpenOffice.org, Firefox, Evolution, Banshee, Tracker, Empathy, Gnote, F-spot and much more..
By default, we have included the complete 'base-devel' packages on the i686 version, but on x86_64, the base-devel packages have not been included on the x86_64 ISO installer, because due to the fact that the 64-bit packages are larger than the 32-bit packages.
If you are going to use a x86_64 version of Kahel OS, simply type pacman -S base-devel to install the base-devel packages.
Here are the advantages of a x86_64 Kahel OS over the i686 version.
1. Speed Boost - A 64-bit application will run much faster than a 32-bit application when compiled natively for 64-bit CPU. The packages included in the 64-bit Kahel OS version are compiled specifically for 64-bit.
2. Memory Allocation - A 64-bit OS can allocate a minimum of 4GB to 16 exabytes of memory to applications, which means applications have more access to RAM than before.
3. Processing Power - Images and videos rendered and processed on a 64-bit OS is much detailed and crispier. Also rendering is faster in 64-bit.
If you have a 64-bit capable CPU, you might as well use this version. (Which will be available by today.)
