I have used nothing but RH 7.2 the last few years as I never needed
anything more for my servers.

However I was specing out parts to build a dual opteron mysql server
today and realized that I might need to pay $700 for a copy of Linux
that will run on dual 64-bit processors.

Is this true?

If so, anyone have any recommendations on which 64-bit distro?
Im inclined to stick to RH all other things being equal.
