Is anyone using Pd on Athlon64? Any advice to give? Pitfalls, setup tips?

pitfal: not using Pd-0.41 advice: use pd-0.41 note: there is still no Pd-extended for 0.41; if you are using Pd-extended, you might be better off not using a 64bit linux for the time being.
tip of the day: if you running a dual-boot with /home used in both 32bit and 64bit environments, it often helps if externals have the suffix .l_i386 and .l_ia64; the old .pd_linux suffix might sometimes create confusion, when libraries refuse to load.
ot-tip of yesterday: i found a dual-boot environment with a moving target (debian sid/lenny) unmaintainable; while i still have the 32bit system eating up a third of my harddisk, i haven't used it for years (as a matter of fact, the last time i tried was at the lac2007, and i miserably failed)
apart from that, i am very happy.
finally{}: i assumed that you want to use a 64bit operating system; of course you can also run your athlon64 in 32bit mode...
