 Squeeze(testing) now.

I have been running the AMD64 testing stream on a box with a single core
AMD64 processor since March 2006. About the only thing which was missing
was a flash plugin or its equivalent but it did not bother me much. Now,
of course, there is more than one plugin. 

I have had no problem until recently when my GUI disappeared after an 
update; simply deleting the old xorg.conf file and starting X solved 
the problem.
