gnu/linux on AMD: 64-bit or 32-bit?

[Jerry Feldman]

Just one comment is that the Linux kernel has been 64-bit since about 1994 
when Linux ported it to the Alpha chip. (Jim Paradis had originally ported 
the 32-bit kernel to the Alpha). While 64-bit chips on the desktop are 
fairly recent, we have had 64-bit chips in servers for a much longer period 
of time.
