The Slamd64 Linux distribution is the first unofficial port of Slackware to the x86-64 architecture. The port started shortly before January 2005, with the first "alpha" release being made publicly available in January 2005. It is discontinued because Slackware now has an official 64-bit version available.
Support for compiling 32-bit binaries was removed for the 11.0 release, but was reintroduced in the 12.0 release.
Slamd64 was created and maintained by Fred Emmott.
Releases
Slamd64's latest stable release is 12.2 (as of 2009-02-01).
There is also a testing / developmental version of Slamd64 called '-current' that can be used for a more bleeding edge configuration.
