Gentoo 2008.0 x86_64 and Slackware 12.2

Linode The Linode Security Team April 4, 2009

Tonight we release two new images for the distro wizard:

Gentoo 2008.0 x86_64
This is the same build as the x86 image, but for 64-bit

Slackware 12.2
Basically the same as the 12.0 build with updated packages

Enjoy them!
