Can anyone with a well-connected crystal ball suggest a timeframe for an IA64 release of CentOS 5? Weeks? Months? Never?
If you can afford an IA64-box, you can also afford the RHEL licence ;-)
Not to pick nits, but not everyone buys their IA64 hardware. Some inherit it, some have it donated, etc. It's not necessarily an indication of great wealth.
Well, to me an inherited IA64 is in the same department as, say, an inherited Onyx or StarFire 10k server.
;-)
I'm not sure how stable the non-enterprise distros run on IA64 - due to limited availability outside the enterprise (HP discontinued the workstations years ago, AFAIK), testing is limited, too and stability always a concern. At least to me.
Would the thread-opener disclose if his IA64-box is a hobby or part of a commercial operation?
