Linux 0.01 was released in 1993 for the 80386 processor, I don't think anyone ever ported it to 64bit.
Newer Linux kernels support 64bit though, Lots of 64bit distributions.. The kernel itself from kernel.org can be compiled for AMD64 or Intel 64 (
formerly known as EM64T, IA-32e) obviously.
OpenBSD has an AMD64 port
