While 64-bit Windows is taking its first baby steps, 64-bit Linux has been
running in the enterprise for years. [...]
Heck, Linux has been running on 64 bits since the summer of 1994, when
Linus Torvalds ported Linux to the Alpha chip. [...]
You don't have to go with one of the two big Linuxes if you don't want
to. Ubuntu Linux 5.04, for example, supports the AMD64 and POWER. [...]
Grooviness. Itanium gets mentions (briefly) in there as does 64-bit Power.
