64 bit support comes to our mind also. I have the 64 bit modules but I afraid drivers especially for nVidia and ATI would not work.. however, you should try the x86_64 (i686) version (ordinary one) and you could report it here smile.gif

Thanks. What I mean is like Windows 7 x64 version or Ubuntu 64-bit version.

You distribute ATI and Nvidia drivers together with your distro? Isn't those drivers closed source?

For open source drivers, just build them with 64 bit kernel modules, then they can run on 64-bit linux distro.

And, if I am not wrong, Nvidia and ATI released 64 bit version of linux driver, even in closed source.

And, I also suggest to implement a feature that let Windows and Mac users install your distro in their operating system. You know Wubi? It is a installer of Ubuntu for Microsoft Windows. With it, users do not need to resize their Windows partition to make free space for Ubuntu partition. It just create a disk image. And, users can boot into Ubuntu by using Windows boot loader. I suggest you to implement this feature but not only for Windows, for Mac as well.
