Of course it has.

I suggest Ubuntu for amd64, which is very easy to install and to configure if
you are coming from windows, and has very good documentation, support forums,
etc. It also has a live-CD version, which you can try first without installing
anything  on your hard disk.

Or you can choose another distribution at www.distrowatch.com
