I installed SuSE 9.0 on my x86_64 only because debian was not ready.
Although SuSE has bi-arch, it lacks the convenience of debian package
handling and "up to dateness" we expect from Sid. Since I do development,
not business, applications, I'm one of the many who can now move my x86_64
to Debian. I will not miss SuSE at all. This is really good news, congratulations to the x86_64 team for completing the port.
