Mandrake and Suse are also doing support. However, all you need with the
Opteron is (1) a few kernel mods, and (2) an update to gcc/glibc/etc. The
rest of the user-land doesn't _need_ to change.

So, it's a fairly easy thing for you to do yourself. Just make a nice
webpage so we can all follow your recipe ;-)
