Is there a web page somewhere that lists what ports are known > working/not working on AMD64? My main system is an amd64 running -current. Everything works great: gnome, kde, ogg encode/decode, etc. Linux32 compatibility is working as well. I can even run java apps with Linux32. The only thing lacking for me is native java so I can have java support in the browser and get eclipse going. I've been playing with gcc/gcj attempting to get that going, but so far no joy. There might be a few additional ports that will not work under amd64, but I personally use everything native amd64 (except java).
