Bluewhite64 Linux is an unofficial port of Slackware Linux to the AMD64 architecture. This means that it runs on AMD64 based servers and computers.
Bluewhite64 Linux's goal of this port is to mimic the user experience of the Intel x86 distribution at it's best. I will try to include the same software, configuration scripts and so on. If you notice any differences between Bluewhite64 and the original Slackware, don't hesitate to email me.
What's New in This Release:
· Many changes, upgrades, new feature additions and improvements have been done here since the Bluewhite64 12.0.
· Among the many program updates and distribution enhancements, you'll find better support for RAID, LVM, and cryptsetup; a network capable (FTP and HTTP, not only NFS) installer; two of the most advanced desktop environments available today: Xfce 4.4.2, a fast and lightweight but visually appealing and easy to use desktop environment, and KDE 3.5.9, the latest version of the award-winning K Desktop Environment. We have added to Bluewhite64 support for HAL (the hardware Abstraction Layer) which allows the system administrator to add users to the cdrom and plugdev groups. Then they will be able to use items such as USB flash sticks, USB cameras that appear like USB storage, portable hard drives, CD and DVD media, MP3 players, and more, all without requiring sudo, the mount or umount command. Just plug and play. Properly set up, Bluewhite64's desktop should be suitable for any level of Linux experience.
· This version of Bluewhite64 Linux combines Bluewhite64's simplicity (and close tracking of original sources), stability, and security with some of the latest advances in Linux technology. Expect no less than the best Bluewhite64 yet.
