Has anyone attempted an install yet? I know its currently rough, but I think I'm going to give it a shot on my new box (HP a450e). If not that, then x86-64 Fedora Core release - anything other than Windows at this point.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/ The February posts are informative. Beware this is, like most Debian installs, not something straight-forward for the uninitiated. You'll really have to WANT Debian on that box -- and it does work, and work it does beautifully.
Go for it. Several people have been building pure64 pool; it's somewhere
between 60 and 70% complete (compared to ia32 sid). I may have a new
x86-64 laptop soon myself...
Thanks for the replies. I saw the posts you mention on the mailing list. This will be a good way to help me keep my technical edge in Linux, even though my Debian specific hacker prowess is what I consider limited. Years of Redhat and Mandrake have softened me (which is why I started playing with Debian and *cringe* Gentoo last yr).
