[Quantian-general] is there a 64-bit Quantian project?

Blair, unless you want to do openMosix development, go with the 32 bit version.  Quantian uses a slightly higher openMosix version than the Official openMosix version (and works very well for nearly everyone).  
openMosix 2.6 is in Alpha.

Hi,
I've started using Quantian, mainly for the instant clustering.  If it 
installs to HD without a problem then I will probably switch all my PC's 
from Fedora to Quantian distro.

So I was wondering if any users have experienced any problems (a) 
installing Quantian (I note that as of quite recently Knoppix still 
warns users to boot from CD rather than install to HD, so naturally I 
wondered if Quantian had similar problems?) and (b) running on an AMD64 
or Intel x86_64 set?  Then (c) for optimization it would be nice to have 
64-bit Quantian packages, does Debian had a 64bit distro, what about 
openMosix---I saw somewhere that oM is being built for the AMD64 but not 
yet ready for x86_64, and only for the 2.6.15 kernel, is that right?  
Does anyone know the status of the project (sourceforge was down when I 
tried to check the status a while ago).

Regards to all.
