In the last few months, I have looked at the web sites of various Linux 
distributions.  All the ones I looked at had 64 bit versions.

I am currently using the 64 bit version of FreeBSD, and the 64 bit version 
of Fedora Core version 9.

I do admit that I only have 2GB of memory, so I cannot speak from 
experience whether they access the full 64GB.
