The February posts are informative. Beware this is, like most Debian
installs, not something straight-forward for the uninitiated. You'll
really have to WANT Debian on that box -- and it does work, and work
it does beautifully.

Go for it. Several people have been building pure64 pool; it's somewhere
between 60 and 70% complete (compared to ia32 sid). I may have a new
x86-64 laptop soon myself...
