> My questions are, should i use the x86_64 kernel (processor supports em64t)? Which are the advantages or disadvantages of using a 64 bit kernel+distribution?

if you use 32bit applications, better to use 32bit environment (though emt64 can run them).
the main 64bit advantage is bigger address space which is required for huge databases and applications.

> Which distribution package should i choose ?
I would recommend CentOS.

> The ia64 or the x86_64 for my arch?
x86_64. ia64 is itanium platform, not EMT64.

> I use centos for my hn and on the download page (for rhel4) the users are warned that the kernel is not stable but the version number for kernel 2.6.9 indicates that is stable. Which one should i use ?

2.6.8/2.6.9 - doesn't matter much. 2.6.9 based on RHEL4 will be released quite soon, so you can use 2.6.9.
