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? Rainer
