I’ve been using firefox 3 on my notebook since beta3, and loving its lower CPU and memory needs, but have been frustrated by the lack of 64 bit builds for my 8Gig RAM desktop development and VMWare system.
It seems that they have been building 64bit binaries for quite some time - see their nightly build dir.. http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/
NICE!

I’ve set up a debian repository that you can help test the release package before it gets uploaded into debian proper.
To try it out, add the following to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://distributedinformation.com/experimental/ experimental main contrib
deb-src http://distributedinformation.com/experimental/ experimental main contrib
and then run
gpg –keyserver the.earth.li –recv-keys 3C0C33BB442B5BE9
apt-key add /root/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
apt-get update
apt-get install apache2 twiki
I will be putting my ongoing work into the experimental distribution there, until they are ready for general use from my stable. From there I’ll be pushing them to my debian mentors.
This repository contains about 226 twiki-plugins - autoupdated nightly direct from twiki.org. THe packages have as many dependencies as I was able to coerce my build scripts to work out - but there is more work needed.
This article shows how simple it is to manage your own debian repository. The hard thing is making usable packages.
Sorry, you will get a gpg error on these packages, they are updated nightly direct from twiki.org - and signing the repository requires personal intervention (as far as I can see).
