Someone will have to reword the text to be more like the other entries on the 
page (http://www.debian.org/users/).  It's usually me who add submissions to 
the "Who's is using Debian?" page, but I don't write them. :-)

You should ask your question on the debian-powerpc list (see 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-powerpc/ ).  This is the AMD64 list.

Yes, and don't forget to save any data you want to keep if you're
installing over your current configuration.

In addition to what Len Sorensen said on a doing a fresh install, here's
how I've successfully "upgraded" a couple of i386 systems to the amd64
port without having to set everything up again.

Beware, the following general steps are from memory:

- Run "dpkg --get-selections > my_installed_packages" on your current
i386 system.

- Store /etc/*, /home/*, /var/log/*, /var/www/*, and whatever else you
want to keep (don't forget the newly created my_installed_packages file)
in a safe place, e.g. on another drive where you can get at them from a
fresh installation.

- Check again that you haven't forgotten anything important on your
current system.

- Install sarge using a netinst CD image; i.e. the fresh install Len
Sorensen mentioned.

- When the fresh install is finished, copy the my_installed_packages
file to the system.

- Remove architecture dependant packages from your my_installed_packages
file (e.g. kernel-image, linux-image, alsa-modules ...).  Apt may refuse
to install them, however, so this step may be unnecessary.

- Run "dpkg --set-selections < my_installed_packages" to mark your
previously installed packages for installation.

- Run e.g. "apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade" (possibly also "apt-get
dist-upgrade).  Aptitude may do a better job of this.

- Copy your stored directories and files back, taking care when
restoring /etc/* as there may be architecture dependant settings.

You should be able to performed the last two items in the reverse order,
but I don't remember in which order I did this.

Good luck!

I have a working unstable amd64 installation here (64 bit), running
Linux 2.6.11-9-amd64-k8 and ALSA, and my sound chip is also a
snd_via82xx.

I don't recall setting anything up, but I did run alsaconf which found
the sound chip.  Unfortunately I can't think of anything that might help
you along, but feel free to ask for the content of specific files or
whatever you can think of.

A good guess would be the debian-qt-kde mailing list, but I'm only a
mere user of the binary KDE 3.4 packages for amd64...

There are amd64 packages in kde-3.4.1.

deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.1/ ./
