Debian unstable works just fine with 64-bit systems, from what I've heard. Maybe testing or stable, too. For CPUs, are you looking at Athlon 64s? Those are nice too, but I don't know how they compare to Opterons, price- and performance-wise. The math department here has a lab of Athlon 64s running FC3. They're fast -- they're 2200 MHz single-processor machines, and they beat out the dual-processor 2133 MHz Athlons in another lab here.
