Gomem goes 64-bit

About twenty-five minutes through episode 52 of the Podmafia podcast, Gomem DeSoto mentions trying out an honest-to-goodness 64-bit Linux SL client and being impressed with its speed, getting 30 fps with the graphics cranked to Ultra and draw distance of 512 meters.. (Yxes sounded tempted... I hope she gives it a try. It's not hard, honest.)

Alas, he doesn't mention where he got it, or which version of the client. I hope that the Podmafia site is updated soon and links provided.

UPDATE:in comments, Mr. DeSoto himself graciously gives us the URL:
http://www.getdeb.net/app.php?name=Second+Life. Alas, it's just the official version, not the Release Candidate, though keeping up with those is a good bit more work, so I certainly understand. The linked site gives a .deb file, so if you have a Debian-based distribution, you're all set.
