This is good news :) Until then I guess I'll be trying out a few other distros. Tried Gentoo amd64 but it was terrible. I never felt the "hands on" feeling of crux. Xubuntu was boring. It just worked.... I think I'll give LFS (Linux From Scratch) a go. Might teach me some things I could use when Crux64 gets online. Until then, I'm looking forward to playing with Crux64 again.

Hi folks. I'm currently in a position where I'm about to destroy my Windows installation and go back to good old Linux.
Has there been any progress on the new Crux64 ? I would very much like to get this instead of Gentoo or something. I'd really like to run a 64 bit version so the old crux32 is not really an option.
I'm not that much of a hacker when it comes to making distros, but I know C/C++/D very well and am interested in helping out if I can.
Also I did quite a lot of "porting" 32 bit ports to 64 bit last time, so here I could probably help out.
Things are coming along nicely. Just waiting for the official 2.3 release before crux64 2.3 is released. However, before anything is release I would like to formalise the multiarch process.
For now I have a large number of ports ready for amd64 aswell as compat32 stuff. I don't really have a progress report as such. I will endevour to get something online at some stage however things are a bit crazy here at the moment.
