Well, I think I'll pass on the beta (for Windows <wink>). I'm running
Gentoo Linux on AMD 64 and also on an Athlon XP and Athlon Thunderbird.
Kernel is 2.6.23, although I suspect 2.6.24 is going to be here real
soon. I use mostly GUI and most WindowMaker, although I've tried them
all, from "twm" up to KDE bloated to the max!

I also have VMware Workstation 6, so I can test just about anything. And
I also have one of those nifty One Laptop Per Child XO laptops. As you
may know, long time Forth genius Mitch Bradley works there and as a
result, OpenFirmware Forth is the native "BIOS" on the machine! But it
also will run any Linux/x86 Forth -- I've got gForth up on it.
