Yes, that's what I meant.  Just "x86 64-bit GNU/Linux".

Hartmut tested the test-image last week and found out that some of the
binaries I compiled did not work for him.  The reason is that I'm
using Xorg which needs libXau.so and Hartmut runs XFree which does not
have this library.

There had been a little discussion between Hartmut, Norbert, and me.  I
tested binaries compiled by Hartmut here and they seem to work without
any problems.  We also thought that it's better to compile them on
Debian/stable because all libraries there are much older than on my
Gentoo system.  Norbert uploaded Hartmut's binaries last Monday.

  New binaries for x86_64, build on Debian/sarge, from Hartmut Henkel

I'm very glad that Hartmut tested it.

It can't hurt if other x86_64-linux users try more recent images.
People who do not want to download the live image can just install the
CD and extract http://ms25.ath.cx/x86_64-linux.tar.bz2 (11.5 MB) in the bin
directory (or better use rsync to download the files from the TUG
server, which will be significantly faster). 

Regards,
  Reinhard
