Pasi Pirhonen (the author) moved to Tao Linux because nobody at beau.org
cared about his work. He made IA64 port too (and s390 too), see the
primary site of RC1:

ftp://ftp.vslib.cz/pub/mirrors/whiteboxlinux.org/people/pasi.pirhonen/

Because of binary compatibility I suggest to use Tao with final
versions of AMD64, IA64 and S390 from Pasi at:

http://taolinux.org


Anyway I have own (yum) repository with AMD64 (x86_64) updates for WhiteBox:

ftp://ftp.vslib.cz/pub/local/milan.kerslager/RHEL-3/testing.updates/
ftp://ftp.linux.cz/pub/linux/people/milan_kerslager/RHEL-3/testing.updates/


And yes - this is wery sad that the effort like this has been trown
away by people at beau.org. It's useless and disillusion.
