Hi Johannes,
"Hoary Hedgehog" is available as a native AMD64 version.
Has anyone tested this thing so far?
I tried the last version on my Opteron, and it was a very smooth
install. The packages were well chosen, albeit biased towards GNOME.
If you're looking for user-friendly Debian, it's a better bet that
some other derivative versions, and the native amd64 support is a
bonus.
On the other hand, if you're the kind of person who likes to make
their own setup choices then it may not be for you. (Mainstream
Debian packages are available in 'universe' but they aren't
supported).
I don't think the development model is as democratic or open as
mainstream Debian either. I mean, if you wanted a particular feature
in Ubuntu but a certain well-known millionaire and space tourist was
dead against it, do you think it would be implemented in his
distribution? : )
Cheers
Daniel
