There are already several 64 bit architectures supported (PowerPC, IA-64,
etc). Do you mean x86-64 (aka AMD64)? Yes, Testing (Etch) currently builds
for x86-64. I've installed it on an Intel EMT Pentium D system, and it
worked fine in 64 bit mode.
More info here: http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/
Download installers here: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
BTW, there are also 64 bit versions of Linux from other Distributions.
Mandriva (I think) and Ubuntu come to mind.
