Has anyone successfully installed Centos4 on the newer AMD powered Sun gear? I really want to hear if there are gotchas or lost/decreased functionality.

We have a few of them - works fine. If you're running a larger DB or something, you get a huge performance boost out of proper numa settings in your grub.conf ... for us, it showed between 10 and 25%

Now, now, you can't tease like that. What do you mean by "proper numa settings", how do they correlate to BIOS settings, and how did you determine all that?
