I've now pretty much fully configured my new PC with Debian "Etch" for AMD64.
The base system went on perfectly with not a hitch. A few
applications don't yet build for AMD64 yet, so I had to
install them in a x86 chroot, but that wasn't too
hard to do, and eventually I won't need it.
The only problems I've really had so far are building the
nvidia kernel, and
getting Xine to play
MP3 files. Thankfully
I was able to copy the nvidia.ko file from
an identical working system, and configure amaroK to use
GStreamer/ALSA instead of xine
to play MP3s.
