Hi guys, my Thinkpad x61 (4G RAM) is arriving this week and I was wondering how far from a 64 release you (we?) are? I am _NOT_ trying to hassle or rush you in any way. Just wondering if you could give a quick status report about where the development is.
Thank you!

Re: 64 Update
An internal release of the x64 version is being tested right now. At present, things are looking extremely good!
Re: 64 Update
Great, I guess if its that close I will deal with Vista until it is released..

Re: 64 Update
It's likely to be the right ISO however it wasn't officially released yet. It shouldn't be on distrowatch and we're asking them to remove the announcement right now.

Re: 64 Update
Will I need to do a fresh install when the final is ready, or will there be a way to upgrade from 32 to 64?
Re: 64 Update
The 32 and 64 bit editions are different, you will need to do a fresh install to run the 64 bit edition.
