[TriLUG] Debian AMD64 anyone?

[John Jones]

Reginald,

I am not sure if this helps much, but I have had my dual Opteron system 
since before June of 2003.  The only thing around at the time was 
Mandrake X86-64 (or AMD64).  I loaded their beta on and everything went 
fine.  I since have installed their release client, which went very 
smooth and I have been running a major Postgres (7.4.1) database on it 
for about 3 months now (full production).  This is just opinion, but 
Mandrake seems to be in the lead on the X86-64 front (in terms of free 
software), at least at the time I was looking.

It has been very stable, particularly for a hand built machine running a 
release client package.  I beats the heck out of the Win2K/MS SQL 7 
server that it replaced (SHEW!).

HTH.

Windows at this point.
