yeah, but the OP was asking about compiled packages... ;)

i think mandriva and ubuntu have pretty big 64-bit repositories, but i'm not sure...

I still vote for gentoo 'cause everything would be 64bit and it's as easy to install a package from the source with portage as it is to install a precompilled one with apt-get and alot more easy then with .rpm
