Linux A couple of weeks ago TerraSoft released preliminary 64-bit ISO's of their flagship product, Yellow Dog Linux 3.0.1 (YDL), especially for owners of Apple's new G5 machines. I was pining for a chance to get an open source OS running in 64-bit mode so I quickly downloaded the three ISO's.

Not all apps can be guarenteed to be 64-bit clean, it depends on the app. Linux, the kernel, has been 64-bit capable for years and years now - the Alpha port happened in 1993 I believe. Apps? Most, I'd bet, should recomplile fine but there will always be some that will have issues.
