Slackware 64 bit
Dal sito Slackware.com
[tap tap tap]… Is this thing on?
Ready or not, Slackware has now gone 64-bit with an official x86_64 port being maintained in-sync with the regular x86 -current branch. DVDs will be available for purchase from the Slackware store when Slackware 13.0 is released. Many thanks go out to the Slackware team for their help with this branch and a special thank you to Eric Hameleers who did the real heavy lifting re-compiling everything for this architecture, testing, re-testing, and staying in-sync with -current.
We’ve been developing and testing Slackware64 for quite a while. Most of the team is already using Slackware64 on their personal machines, and things are working well enough that it is time to let the community check our work.
We’d like to thank the unofficial 64 bit projects for taking up the slack for us for so long so that we could take our time getting everything just right. Without those alternatives, we would have been pressured to get things out before they were really ready.
As always — have fun!
Pat and the Slackware crew

Ermm… is this thing on? Initial public release of Slackware64-current.
He’s trying to lay low, but thanks to Eric Hameleers for the huge amount
of work he did to make this possible.
Enjoy!
Da quel che si legge è opera di Alien Bob, che la gestirà. Visto anche l’introduzione, sempre ad opera di Alien Bob, di mplayer tra i pacchetti ufficiali (naturalmente senza quei codec con problemi di licenza) sembra che la Slackware ormai sia Pat&Alien e visto che in passato Alien non ha mai nascosto il voler inserire pam nella Slackware… chissà
Intanto godiamoci questa release, chi può la provi
