While I plan to test it out first, perhaps what I most would like to know is if it seems stable enough for production purposes. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks!
I guess the more appropriate question would be whether there have been known issues with Linux in general on AMD64: and the answer is yes. I've had the chance to see Linux (CentOS 4.3 in particular) and the kernel had some significant problems when dealing with context switches (when the number of processes increased, performance degraded significantly) and memory management (cache refreshes and heap long jumps caused problems) needed some patience. If you plan on deploying Linux on AMD64, if you can get away with using a 32-bit kernel instead, then that would be a prudent choice at this point, especially when you're talking about production environments -- and Linux on AMD64 still in a state of flux (up until the last time I checked anyway).
