[wellylug] Mandrake for Athlon64

[Glen Ogilvie]

Hi Brent,

I would be very interested to know how things go once you get your hardware.  
I am thinking of buying something much the same, however, need to find out if 
VMware works on a 64 bit system like this.  So, when you get it all go, I'd 
be more than keen to bring a copy around and give it a try.

Best of luck with getting it going on a SATA drive.  I'll bet that Linux 2.6.1 
or newer is going to be better at getting it working anyway, if there is 
problems with it.

Glen
