Well, I've been running Slackware-current with the 2.6 kernel for ages now, and
its as solid as a rock!

However, I *may* be getting my hands on an amd64 soon, and don't fancy
recompiling *everything* from scratch! The only distros that currently seem to
support the amd64 "out-of-the-box" at present are Mandrake (flaky on past
experience) and Suse (Slightly odd, and questionable hardware detection on
previous experience). Plus maybe Gentoo? (Unknown quantity!)

Is anyone out there working on a Slack-64 variation?
