ZDNet looks at plans by MandrakeSoft to port its Linux distribution to AMD's x86-64 architecture. "..And MandrakeSoft hopes the move will also help drive its Linux operating system into the enterprise. "A version of Mandrake Linux dedicated to these powerful 64-bit processors can certainly accelerate MandrakeSoft's growing adoption in the Linux corporate market," said MandrakeSoft chief executive Jacques Le Marois in a statement."
