Hi Phill, Sorry this took so long! I'm happy to report that doing the install with the 64-bit Mini CD worked just fine. I haven't had time to try everything, of course, but I've found zero problems so far.
Just one note on the install instruction; one step is to do a "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". When I did this, it told me there were zero packages to install. Perhaps that step could be removed, or perhaps it's needed only sometimes. Anyway, looking good so far for 64-bit. Let me know if there's anything special you'd like me to try.
