I have Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo, Fedora and SuSE (not yet SUSE) on my

a year, so I do not recommend it.
Debian-amd64 moved servers about 6 months ago. There is now a good range of
mirrors and it will hopefully be included into the debian itself soon. See
the how-to.
I've been using debian-amd64 since January on this computer and it has been
create. I run a few things in a 32bit (x86) chroot, such as openoffice.org,
but it isn't bad. Looking forward to oo.o 2.0 that will be able to be
compiled and run natively under 64bit.
I am actually not sure where some of my applications are running and
wheter they are 32 or 64bit.
I have an old-ish install cd for debian-amd64, if anyone wants a copy.
I changed everything from sarge to sid. Now it does work. They are
probably not taking the trouble of doing anything for amd64-sarge
anymore. Thanks for the hint.
