Im using FC5 64 bit right now.. Its awesome! And Digit never has, and probably never will give any 64 bit edition of linux mosty becaue only a few ppl have 64 bit CPU's and 32 bit Linux runs fine on 64 bit systems.

64bit is available for all linux flavours... Even Ubuntu.. You use a 64bit OS to make the most of your 64 bit processor..

Always use the best available and as ur PC supports is go for it.
I myself use Open SuSE 10.0 x64

Either download it, or order on ebay.in. By the way, lemme tell you, there are still a lot of dependancy problems with 64 bit linux.

@Hellomotto check it out at ILUG-BOM. I can see some X86-64 Ubuntu cd's available. If anyone has a cd/dvd, they might be wiling to give it to you.
Here's the link to cd's available page http://db.glug-bom.org/wiki/index.php/CDs_Available
