[bitfolk] Rescue environment upgraded and now available as 64-bit

Hi, Although BitFolk only officially supports 32-bit VMs at present, a couple of customers have installed 64-bit Linux distributions. They have then found the rescue environment not particularly useful since its 32-bit kernel can't execute any of their binaries. I have now done an upgrade of the rescue environment's image to Debian wheezy and used a 64-bit install. An x86_64 kernel can execute i686 binaries as well, so this will work for everyone and is in any case a prerequisite for supporting 64-bit installs. For more information on the rescue environment: https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Rescue (General support for 64-bit installs is still not here, but is not far off, and is a topic for another day) Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting _______________________________________________ announce mailing list announce(a)lists.bitfolk.com https://lists.bitfolk.com/mailman/listinfo/announce
