Ultima Linux AMD64 Edition is the official port of Ultima Linux to 64-bit x86 platforms. The first publicly-available release of this port was in Ultima Linux 8.1 Beta, where it continues to receive frequent updates.

The AMD64 edition is typically the more actively developed one, because many packages are still under development and need to be actively ported to AMD64 in order to function correctly. It is also the edition used most frequently by developer Martin Ultima himself.

The 64-bit edition does not run on 32-bit computers!
