I have been running 64-bit OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and SUSE 11 for a while
now. I expect that I will have no more problems with 64-bit F10 than
I've had with the other 64-bit systems (which is to say, essentially
none except for Maxima(caused by CLISP not working in 64-bit mode), so I
am eager to take advantage of the extra (and bigger) registers available
in 64-bit F10.

Where are the DVDs for Rawhide/F10 available?

Thanks.
