Re: MAME? AMD64 not official?

["Mike" <spam@mdobbs.com>]

I know this is an old issue, but we look like debian, smell like debian but 
we are not?  Is there anything we can do to have the rights of a real debian 
distribution?  It seems to me that we are except someone, somewhere has to 
put his/her seal of approval.

Come on already, what system should people buy these days?  Intel and AMD 
both offer 64bits, and I know that AMD64 was not at a premium at all.  It's 
all they offered!

I think this AMD64 project has done a great job, and has earned the right to 
be official, and would like to help.
