# Which version should I download

Currently the most common hardware is 64 bits architectures PC — Intel/AMD — also know as x86\_64. 

Choosing another architecture certainly means that you already know what you’re doing.

ROME is a rolling release designed for individual users. ROME will have more up to date packages including recent security and bug fix upgrades.
Rock is a stable release more suited for business, server, or those that do not like change. Rock releases get very few package upgrades during the life of each release.
