I have installed AMD64 Gentoo on my box in February 2005, and don't
have any tips to provide here. It has pretty much worked flawlessly;
the only exception is that after the upgrade to 2005.0 the i386
versions of the X libraries vanished, so some old binaries I have from
my pre-AMD64 days no longer work
<2005Oct16.224608@mips.complang.tuwien.ac.at>.

However, I don't run KDE or Openoffice and only few Gnome
applications.
