I think the alpha port works since 95, the sparc 64 has been around since 96 too, and as far as I can tell we also reliably use the following 64 bits architectures: - Intel Itanium - AMD Opteron - PPC 64bits - S390 mainframe 64 bit mode So I count at least 6 supported 64 bits CPU. I think there is also Mips 64bits but I never had a chance to play with it myself, linux support is available for them too I think. The main problem is more general availability and price of those platform (though the AMD opteron boxes available around seems okay). So I really wonder what made you think Linux ain't really there. Actually Linux tends to be the first OS ported to new (64 bits) chips those days.
