RedHat's community OS is now called Fedora: http://fedora.redhat.com/
There's been two AMD64 releases of this OS, Fedora Core 1 and Fedora Core 2.
Core 3 is just around the corner.
I've been running FC2 x86_64 with kernel 2.6 as a desktop system for quite some
time now, with PostgreSQL 7.4.2 / 64bit installed.
I find Fedora to be a really good Linux distro, continuing and improving upon
the fine tradition of RedHat's releases.
You can also get RedHat's commercial releases on AMD64; according to
http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/features/
you can also get a EM64T release.
