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.

History is made......Slackware just keeps getting more and more relevant!

Wow... awesome.

Thank you Pat, Alien_bob and rworkman, and the others who worked on this!

Can't wait to test this baby out!

Wicked-cool! Thank you, Mr. Volkerding, Eric, Robby, and the entire Slackware team! :cool:

Which mirror has 64-current in place? I just can't to wait to rsync but I will not pull from ftp.slackware.com directly;)

grissiom 05-19-2009 08:41 PM

One more question, is there any packages in 32bit-current but not in 64bit-current?

ricky_x64 05-19-2009 08:44 PM

when will this port be available for download?

wildwizard 05-19-2009 08:47 PM

Give the mirrors a couple of days to pull it in.

I have to wait anyway else I have to pay for the data.

Schweeeeeeeeeeeeettt!!!

Fantastic!!

I just tried to "jump the gun" a little and do an ftp install from:
ftp://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/...t/slackware64/
but it didn't work.

Now how an I supposed to sleep?

rigelan 05-19-2009 09:34 PM

They were pretty secret about it. I hadn't heard that it was being worked on.

cwizardone 05-19-2009 09:51 PM

Absolutely Outstanding!
Thank you very much!

BTW, is it multi-lib or "pure 64"?
:)
