Ubuntu amd64

[Karl Bowden]

Hey guys,
Just a quick note for those interested, I upgraded my laptop from
gutsy-i386 to hardy-amd64 (clean install).
Firefox brings up a plugin search box on a flash supporting page and
installs flash rather easily.
I have not tested java support in firefox.
skype needed a ignore tag from memory when installing the deb, but
runs great. vmware amd64 runs great too.
And acidrip times have mildly improved.
Nvidia video driver was as easy as going to the restricted drivers box
and enabling it. Wine work as normal too.

So far, really happy. 4gb of ram in the laptop really helps with a few
vm's open too.
