I've been using Fedora x86_64 on my laptop since FC4. It had some
teething problems, but that was more due to chipset/ACPI/kernel bugs
than anything else. Since the FC7 days everything has JustWorked.
Fedora 9 includes a 64-bit java plugin. You'll have to jump through
some hoops if you want to use the official 32-bit binary flash plugin, but
the Free plugins work fine for most things.
