SuSE offers Linux for Opteron (News.com)
News.com covers the
release of SuSE Linux for Opteron. "
SuSE has been a tight AMD partner, beginning work in 2000 to create a version of Linux for Opteron and future members of the x86-64 chip family such as Athlon 64. Rex said AMD took suggestions on how best to design the chip's circuitry for running Linux, and when the first chip prototype emerged, it took three days to get the SuSE version up and running."
