I've said it before jiyuu0 and I'll say it again. Your CD makes Ubuntu worth it. Without this CD, I wouldn't even have considered the distro.

I look forward to many more updates, and the first release for Breezy when the time comes too.

jiyuu0, thanks for that. It is a pity (and quite worrying) that software can only be distributed according to the lowest common denominator of laws in any country in the world.

Is there an add-on CD for AMD64, or will the 32-bit one work on the x86_64 version of Ubuntu?

currently no, as i don't own a amd64 machine to test on and also some packages aren't available for amd64 and powerpc

the add-on cd would only work for x86 and not other architectures

I'd be interested to test, since I'm currently experiencing issues with the backports, and would like to try out your CD; however, I am also using an AMD64 build of Hoary.
