As far as I am able to tell there are currently two amd64 debian
releases it:
amd64.debian.net/debian or /debian-pure64 (your choice, one is a symlink)
amd64.debian.net/debian-amd64
The difference between amd64 and pure64 I am actually not sure of, but
they are not the same given files in each dir has different time stamps.
I keep a chroot of each on by i386 sarge machine so I can play with
programs from both (I mostly need i386 so that's what I installed on the
machine, the 64bit is just for playing with, hence the chroots for that).
The is also a gcc4.0 based release on the ppc machine somewhere (off
alioth as far as I recall) which I have not looked at, since it seems to
be the more experimental release.
