Hello, Any recommendation regarding free linux 64 bits desktop and server distros? Its completely new to me.

Nobody? I haven't been able yet to install Ubuntu-64 or openSUSE-64 on my machine. Can I make "pure" 64 bits builds on a 32 bits platform?

Well, it´s just that any should work.

I haven't been able yet to install Ubuntu-64 or openSUSE-64 on my machine.

In that case you could test Mandriva 2006 for x86_64

Here are the ISOs:

You want to cross compile from 32 bits to 64 bits?

If "cross compiling" means compiling a 64 bits AMD64 ISA build on a 64 bits machine with a 32 bits os: yes. Should it work?
