Sure! And when Opteron SMP systems and PCI-X or PCI-Express high
performance video cards become more widespread, Mandrake could
be in a good position to become the scientific/engineering OS of
choice. Seriously. The inability to do real, native 64 bit
computations is holding back x86 from this market (small though
it may be...) I would love to be able to run a visualization
and scientific workstation on Mandrake with (relatively)
inexpensive 64 bit hardware... (How does it go? "Ah, perchance
to dream...")
