I got a Athlon64 3200+
sarge i386 rocks, but I guess the k8 owners just cant wait anymore
the debian amd64 port is for the developers (they didnt lie)
I use Ubuntu Linux which is more stable for a basic system
the system base on debian and supports x86-64 and native64
Ubuntu is a stable and basic system, I look for alternative sources
and debian's amd64 port is obivous the choice,
imho, sarge i386 is the way to follow, and its also a good idea to try something new
