Yes, that's what I meant. Just "x86 64-bit GNU/Linux".

Hartmut tested the test-image last week and found out that some of the
binaries I compiled did not work for him. The reason is that I'm
using Xorg which needs libXau.so and Hartmut runs XFree which does not
have this library.
There had been a little discussion between Hartmut, Norbert, and me. I
tested binaries compiled by Hartmut here and they seem to work without
any problems. We also thought that it's better to compile them on
Debian/stable because all libraries there are much older than on my
Gentoo system. Norbert uploaded Hartmut's binaries last Monday.

New binaries for x86_64, build on Debian/sarge, from Hartmut Henkel
I'm very glad that Hartmut tested it.
It can't hurt if other x86_64-linux users try more recent images.
People who do not want to download the live image can just install the
CD and extract http://ms25.ath.cx/x86_64-linux.tar.bz2 (11.5 MB) in the bin
directory (or better use rsync to download the files from the TUG
server, which will be significantly faster).
Regards,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
