Yea, sorry, I meant AMD64 bit. Also, I found something about SuSE 9.1 Pro in AMD 64, but I wanted to know from someone who tried Linux in 64-bit. http://www.suse.com/en/private/products/suse_linux/prof/64bit.html Thanks for the comment

You might want to be careful, since I'm pretty sure they're different. >From what I could find, FC1 seems to have AMD64 support, as does Mandrake 10, and Gentoo. Beyond that, I can't tell you. I do know that my boss at work was very frustrated when he couldn't get Debian for his new quad-Opteron database server, and had to go to Gentoo, but I haven't had any direct experience with it myself. Also, I suspect FreeBSD and OpenBSD would work, if you wanted to try that route. You might check out http://www.distrowatch.com. It seems to be pretty informative.
