   since you didn't mention an arch... I have a dual amd64 (opteron
   242).  Mostly it is fine but ACPI is broken for me and I do get an
   occaisional kernel panic (something to do with locking which I really
   should report to fvdl), oh, and 32-bit compat mode is broken. Apart

how is 32 bit compat mode broken?  i have a sparc64 setup now and
looking at netbsd32 lossage is what i've been wanting to do...

   from that it is fine most things I use just compile and run without
   problems.  If you want bleeding edge - get amd64 ;)


BTW, debian appears to support amd64 in unreleased ware.
