Kubuntu Amd64

[Knapp]

I also think all these negatives are complete BS!!! I have been using and
AMD 64 x2 for about one year with the current Kubuntu and I used the version
before that too. I have no problems at all and I run Swiftfox and all the
players and all the PDF software with no problems. I stopped using Adobe not
because it does not work but because the other software is faster and
better.
Some stuff is 32 bit and I used the BLACK CAT Automatix to do it after a
normal install. Easy and no problems with anything. BTW Wine was and is
working but I am not in any way a power user of it.
The only problem I have with something not running is with Panda3d. They
will not support 64 bit. But I bet that is not a show stopper for you.
