I just got to try it here and it seems to work.  I had to install a
few packages manually, but nothing hard.  I'm on Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit.
I used cabal-install from the darcs repository -- I didn't try with
the stable version, so I don't know if it would work.

I've been compiling some of my code and everything worked so far.
Thanks, GHC HQ!
