Hi folks, AMD64 support by the most popular and useful ports for a desktop environment are in great shape. I now can natively: 1) Use all the GNOME environment with few problems. This has been working a long time. 2) Use Java 1.5 with eclipse without issue. This has been around for a few months. 3) Use OpenOffice. So far, I've edited a few MS Word and a PowerPoint presentation with great success. This is very recent. Only a couple of days since this has worked. Great job! The only thing missing that would cap it all off is a Java plug-in to the web browser. There are occasional crashes with some applications like evolution (only on exit) and Liferea, but overall everything has been rock solid and extremely usable. Cheers, Sean
