I have installed this on my AMD64 3700+ HP zv5000z laptop. Works fine. 
(Not quite an Opteron, I know, but close.)

No problems with crashing.  Updates from yum are problematic.  Some things 
seem to be missing and/or have odd library dependancies.  (I have not 
spent the time to track it down.) Other than that and the modules 
directories for X changing location, it has gone pretty well.
