This is the second installment of the "Linux on the Opteron, are we ready?" article. Basically, it is a "where are we now?" article, noting that what once did work now does not, and others that did not work now do. The first article was published on OSNews almost three months ago. Since that time not too much has happened publicly in regards to the amd64 Linux situation, but a lot of people mailed to tell me that I should have checked out SuSE or the new Mandrake which was "about to be released" at that time. Also since that time I have upgraded the RAM and acquired a larger hard disk for the machine. I will give a brief rundown of the system as it stands now, what I tried to install on it, and what works.

I've heard a lot of people gripe about SuSE and their decision to not offer ISOs. I'm sure if you volunteered to pay SuSE's bandwidth bills they'd jump to offer ISOs on their sight.
Regardless, I've had great success burning SuSE to DVD after downloading it from their FTP site and installing from there.
Why do people make it sound like it's the end of the world that SuSE's ftp version can't be burned to CD when DVD burners are selling for less than $150 these days??
