So in short my query/plea here is pls help me find a 64-bit Linux distro that will know how to work with all my peripherals (keyboard + mouse) and help me see 64 bit computing at work. The smaller the download the better, I won't use this for anything other than a File/Web server and to continue my exp with Ruby.

x86_64 SuSE 10.0 OSS is available on 5 CDs @ www.opensuse.org or it's mirrors.

Got it. Thanks. Unless anyone has any other tried-n-better distros, I'm on this.. Gishu
