EM64T and linux

[Phillip Qin]

It says "compilation time optimization uses a common base for AMD64/EM64T
instead of legacy i386 cruft" but doesn't mention anything else about the
EM64T. I am not familiar with the new 64-bit technology but I will give it a
try.

Do you want to run it as a 32 bit system?  Or 64 bit?

If you run in 32 bit mode, then it shouldn't present any particularly
special problems.

It may be more interesting in 64 bit mode, as Debian/AMD-64 has been
released recently...
