It will be great, if you guys can put up a short document on how to setup
a pure64 Debian from scratch. I have seen the howto on alioth, may be if
you can update that to include pure64 info, it will be really great. I
think there are more people interested in pure64 port right now than a 
biarch solution.

I have with me a brand-new Athlon64 and am planning to buy the rest of the
stuff to put together a new box real soon, and would like to help with the 
port.
