64-bit Linux?
Apple released the first 64-bit computer just this week and that is the standard the industry is moving towards. i'm running Slackware right now and I hope to upgrade to a 64-bit system sometime this year. what linux distros will be upgrading to 64-bit and when? i'm especially interested in Slackware

thanks. nothing for slackware though? blast

i am sure it won't be too long, suse has already released support for the itanium and opteron and others are following...
and i am also sure the time you get your 64bit machine there will be support with almost all distros, the main ones anyways |
YellowDog says they will have a version out for the new G5s.

solaris has a 64bit os

Wait for linux kernel 2.6 series to production.
The 2.6.0 test1 is in the wild and supports 64bit processors e.g. Hammer/AMD64. News? http://www.kniggit.net/wwol26.html Wanna test? http://kernel.org/ |
64 bit
the support for 64 bit cpus has nothing to do with the distro, its all in the kernel. and i concur the 2.6 series is in the test stage so it shouldnt be to much longer :)
