I put together a mythtv box with FC2-64bit (AMD) and it was tough to get 
all of the apps in 64bit (this was 6 months ago). I had to build most of 
them myself and I ended up with a fractured KDE environment on top of it 
all.
I could have gone the route of FC2-32bit and not worry about it -- but I 
didn't know there was so little support for 64-bit apps at the time. 
Most posts to this ml have suggested to stick with 32bit for now.

So, I'm curious to hear the responses of Frank's message.

Fedora Core 3 64-bit.   What support is there on the Planet for this OS
choice?  It's not clear looking at the site, or at least I couldn't find
anything on this.

Also, I assume when Fedora Core 4 is out that it would not at least
initially be possible to use this OS with the CCRMA software.  Is that
correct?  If so, when might this version of Fedora be supported?

Thanks!

Frank

Frank,
   I'm curious - is it an issue of support or is it an issue of
optimization? I thought the FC3 kernel (and all others that I know of)
run fine on AMD_64 processors but they just don't take advantage of
the 64-bit nature of the processor.
