Slamd64 Linux 12.0 is the latest Slamd64 release which is an unofficial Slackware port to the x86_64 architecture conceived and mantained by Fred Emmott since 2004 –his idea is to have a 64 bit Slackware compiled from scratch instead of starting from another 64 bit distro.

The new 12.0 is available in an installation DVD .iso image available from the Get Slamd64 page and supports most (not all) 64 bit Intel and AMD processors –some Sempros, some Xeons and Core Duos are not supported. It installs if you have as little as 128 MB RAM available (it’s very strongly recommended that you have more than that, anyway).

You can have Xfce 4.4.1 or KDE 3.5.7 as desktop environmets running over a 2.6.22.8 kernel. Apache, PHP, Perl and MySQL servers come with the bundle.

The system is built to allow for compatibility with most 32 bit applications such as OpenOffice and it can use most packages available for Slackware x86.
