I am using it (actually daily x64 snapshot) on the mint 11. and so far no problems whatsoever . decent ram use & speed, all works (nvidia 280.04& virtualbox/wifi etc...)

Oh, I see several fixes for initializing of "evergreen+" cards... I wonder if this will fix the Radeon 6000 series issues?

I had a kernel crash on 3.0-rc5 when trying to mount a cifs drive that was not available. Hopefully it's now fixed at least there are some fixes for cifs.
