I have been running an x86_64 (amd64) system for a few months now. The
only thing I have been missing is a 64bit version of Macromedia
Shockwave plugin. Apparently, there is no 64bit version for this
proprietary software.
Everything else is fine. I have all I need on my desktop. x86_64
version of Openoffice-bin (rc3) takes a long time to open, but is
promising.
Good luck,
