Gentoo is reported as working, SuSE and Mandrake have amd64 versions out.

I had good results with Ubuntu but be careful of the boot loader. I installed it on a drive that had a Windows installation on another partition and it overwrote the NT boot loader and I had no menu.

You do know that you can get either LILO or GRUB to boot other OSes, don't you?

Software raid is hard to support.
