i am currently testing a machine running 64studio 3.0alpha[1], which is based on ubuntu 8.04(hardy) for amd64 (there are 32bit builds too), while the stable 64studio 2.1 is built on debian 4.0etch. 64studio is designed for stable low- latency audio and both versions perform very well. if you require extended you should read the recent thread on deb packages for pd-extended - but I haven't had too much trouble getting the externals i need to build (flext libs are a current exception).
ubuntu 8.10 is generally not recommended for low-latency audio as the realtime kernels provided by ubuntustudio[2] do not run stably. otherwise, planetccrma[3] for fedora is a popular choice, but i can't personally speak for the 64bit builds.
ciao, dmotd

Has anyone been using pd on a 64 bit GNU/Linux OS?
I have a new laptop and I'm thinking of trying to run Ubuntu 8.10 64bit. If I can't run pd, jack, ardour, etc then I'll stick to 32 bit, but I've read that 32 bit apps will run fine as long as they have the correct libs ...
