Mandrake is doing a good job at building, packaging && supporting 64bit arch.
The new urpmi (Mdk's apt-get) is smart enough to install 64 bit binaries 
instead of 32 bit's when they exist. This implies a nice package management.

Mandrake is also part of the EDOS project, with many big players in research, 
which goal is to redesign for depency management and other distribution and 
generally OSS related challenges.
