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.
