There is still time. :) > Sorry to say, but I doubt this. Sarge was released 6 months ago, and amd64 is still an officially unsupported platform. The "visible change" is missing. If people talk about Linux on amd64 today, then they think Ubuntu, RedHat, Suse, Gentoo, but not Debian. Debian's big strength (one of it) is the support for many different platforms with a common set of functionality. But the 2nd or 3rd largest platform is missing today. And surely amd64 will become _much_ more important in the next 6 months. Regards Harri
