The Slamd64 Linux distribution is the first unofficial port of Slackware to the x86-64 architecture that is compiled to work on both AMD64 and Intel64 (formerly known as IA-32e or EM64T). The port started in January 2005 with public releases starting a few months later.

Some essential 32-bit libraries are included to enable Slackware packages or 3rd-party 32-bit software to run. Support for compiling 32-bit binaries was removed for the 11.0 release, but was reintroduced in the 12.0 release.

Slamd64 was created and is maintained by Fred Emmott.
