Bluewhite64 General Info (Probably The Best Pure 64-bit GNU/Linux)

Bluewhite64(tm) Linux is a complete pure 64-bit GNU/Linux distribution which can be deployed on a single or multi core 64-bit AMD64 Athlon, Opteron, Sempron, Turion and Intel EM64T (Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology) based servers and desktop computers.

This project was started in May 2006 and was built from Slackware -current sources using the existing 64-bit multilib toolchain from the Slamd64 Linux (thanks Fred!) to create a new 64-bit non-multilib toolchain in order to build the rest of the programs found in the Slackware -current tree. The Bluewhite64 project goal is to imitate the same user experience of the Intel distribution as closely as possible and includes all of the same software, configuration scripts plus the needed 64-bit patches.

- Bluewhite64 Install CD`s and Install DVD - - - Announcement
- Bluewhite64 Live (CD or DVD) - - - Web Page
