Default

you could purchase one of amd's 64 bit chips and novell has a 64-bit version of suse linux that will be aval may 8th. (its no longer free) knoppix is a live-cd; like most of them you can run a script from the disc and install it to your hd. unless your in love w/knoppix for some reason, take a look at mandrake, suse or redhat enterprise. you can purchase all of these in boxes and more importantly- recieve plenty of live support in case you have problems.
