18.1 Legacy Series / Re: 18.1 Installation tips - How to pick correct .ISO version !!!
« on: May 15, 2018, 09:16:20 pm »
You are very welcome!! Sorry, but I did not see a direct reference to using the AMD64 .iso for Intel 64 bit systems in the main install page.
Unless you are a bit of a CPU history buff and know that AMD64 was the first vendor to provide the x86-64 cpu architecture, you might miss the fact that the newer version supports both Intel and AMD systems. I am guessing that the first 64-bit release of FreeBSD was primarily for AMD and this naming convention has just stuck.
Thanks for the great forum support and helping further the mission of OPNsense.
I love this product!!
