    I had to switch to gentoo then ubuntu just to use my AMD64...

    All you need to do is rebuild your kernel. A Linux distro is just a bunch of programs and config files, its not 64-bit specific.

    I especially like the BSD style init system, it just makes sense.

    Blasphemer! System-V init is the only true way to do startup scripts. It makes a SHITLOAD more sense than the BSD-style. How do you even restart a daemon under BSD? I have no clue. Under System-V I can just call the init script with stop and then start or restart or reload if those are available options. On BSD you... uhhh... manually kill the daemon and relaunch it hoping you remember the options it passed on the commandline?

    You probably use Emacs to you heathen.
