slackware64 – yay!
[tap tap tap]… Is this thing on?
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. DVDs will be available for purchase from the Slackware store when Slackware 13.0 is released. Many thanks go out to the Slackware team for [...]

Slackware 12.2
And out of the clear sky, a message appeared:
Well folks, it’s that time to announce a new stable Slackware
release again.
So, without further ado, announcing Slackware version 12.2!
