DEBIAN!
I don't think debian are dropping any ports are they? The unoffical
ubuntu port is a dog because the build servers are so far behind and
much of universe is broken but debian still works nice.
One point it's a 32 bit distro with 64bit user space because much of the
time that's what people really need. AFAIK gentoo is 64 bit throughout
on a stage one install.
