Well, that was fall-off-a-log easy. Apt-get installed
linux-image-2.6-amd64, configured it into LILO, and rebooted. Then installed
gcc-multilib, and compiled a hello-world program as
gcc -m64 -o hello64 hello.c. Objdump shows it's a 64-bit ELF file.
It ran. Awesome. Now to play with some 64-bit Mandelbrot generators.
