You might like to try Fedora (from Red Hat) or Suse instead -- from what I've read, they're reckoned to be the two best 64-bit distros.

Word of warning... don't forget to backup the xorg,conf file before you start editing it!  It makes life a helluva lot easier if you screw it up (like I did the 1st time).
I've got no idea about 64-bit Linux, as I'm still on 32-bit, so I'd trust Tristan on this one  |
Now Im starting to quiver I kinda hoped to avoid any recomiling well its installed now time to have a look
