I've installed Fedora Core 3 x86_64 but it seems that I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to get audio apps to compile that I didn't have to go through on the FC3 32 bit distribution.

Gentoo seems to work very well. A lot of the audio apps get a bit
buggy. Not sure if this is caused by 64 bit incompatabilities or not.
