Linux Mint Felicia for x64 is out!!!

Get it while it’s hot!!!

Download Linux Mint 6 for x64.

One notable thing: This particular release has the 64-bit alpha version of the Flash plugin, which is far more stable than the 32-bit x86 plugin run inside nspluginwrapper.  It also comes with 64-bit Sun Java, with a 64-bit Firefox plugin – everything’s native!

I’ve personally had mixed results with the 64-bit Flash plugin – on my more modern laptop with the Core 2 Duo, it runs great – very stable, does its job.  On an older system, which has one of the early AMD Athlon64 processors, in the past, I’ve had troubles – it was crashing.  I’m suspecting some driver issue, though this sort of thing tends to be hard to narrow down.  I guess I’ll find out.

Enjoy!
