Getting a GPU Bitcoin miner for Linux 64bit

Question

I've just learned about the awesome world of Bitcoins. I've learned that the only way to make a decent amount of bitcoins is to "mine". However, everywhere I look, the miners are for Windows and those that have clients for Linux only support 32bit.

I'd like to be able to mine off my GPU (if possible). I have an ATI graphics card (I've heard there isn't much support for ATI, only Nvidia).

Here is a list of the currently available miners. Most of them support Linux:

Front Ends :

• AOCLBF (Formerly Phoenix Rising) - Support: Windows. Features: Phoenix (phakt support)
• Diablo and RPC for Mac - Support: OSX 10.6+ Features: CLI Frontend Setup
• BitMiner - http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12135.0 Support: Windows Features: poclbm, (Planned) Temp readings / usage

Taken from here. Personally, I am using the GUI minner (which has the poclbm backend). It was easy to setup and it's running fine at Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit with an ATI card.
