hi, I have been running vmd on debian since the early days till the last version, with no problems at all. In all ocasions, I used debian unstable. I recently switched to a 64 bits machine, and vmd is working without problems. Most of the vmd installations that I have done were using the appropiate linux binaries from the vmd site, but I also used to have a cvs version too that I compiled on debian. Both worked well. So, just downdload the binaries and give them a try, you'll be gladly surprise
