Additionally, Slamd64 isn't AMD-only at all. slamd64.com runs on an Athlon64 X2, but it developed on my desktop with a core 2 quad, and my laptop with a core 2 duo.

Hi,
I'm in the ChangeLog/copyright notices where appropriate. All my published work on Slamd64 is free software; I don't care what's done as long as the licenses are followed.
This is probably a good time to say why I made slamd64 again:
I wanted a 64-bit Slackware. I didn't want to be a distro lead, or anything like that. I like Slackware, and I needed a 64-bit distro. I made it for my own use, and uploaded it in case anyone else wanted to use it. Now there's a 64-bit Slackware, that reason's gone.
Slamd64 will be continued in some form for the foreseeable future, but possibly as something slightly different.
A true Slackware64 is better for you too:
- Security updates shouldn't lag behind "real" Slackware
- you won't miss out on nearly two months of security updates (like you are right now) due to tendon issues on my part

You just beat me :) Here's a bit more info:
Slamd64 is an unofficial amd64 port of Slackware. Slamd64 10.2 has also been released today, with 2.6.12.4 kernel (with reiser4 support), but otherwise very similar changes.
