The openSUSE project and SGI do provide a SUSE Linux Factory tree for
IPF / Itanium hardware architecture.
The Factory distribution is an always up to date version of the SUSE Linux
development distribution, which is used as base for SUSE Linux Enterprise
products.
SGI is kindly offering this distribution at:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/opensuse/download/inst-source/
SGI is also offering a drpmsync service, which enables everyone to sync the
tree via this command:
drpmsync oss.sgi.com:8888/Factory-IA64 <dir>
Documentation and installation help is available in the openSUSE wiki:

To assure best quality for SUSE Linux 10.1 we will offer RC 2 at
openSUSE.org by end of this week.
We made major progress in the area of product updates and patch
management and invite everybody to test RC2 heavily and give feedback.
We will have RC 3 available at the mid of next week and we are confident
that we will move rapidly through the final phases of the release.
Thank you all for your support for SUSE Linux 10.1, with this version
we received for the first time more feedback from the community than from
engineers inside Novell,
Andreas

openSUSE at LinuxTag 2006
The LinuxTag[1] is the world's No. 1 Linux Expo and Conference since 1996.
LinuxTag 2006 is presented in cooperation with the German Unix Users

The openSUSE project will be present at the Novell booth (Booth Number

openSUSE and a SUSE Linux counter.
We will also have our own sub-conference, the openSUSE Day, on
Thursday, May 4 2006. You find a schedule for the openSUSE Day at the
LinuxTag webpage[2].
We are still looking for speakers and booth duty volunteers from the
openSUSE community. If you want to present a talk in the openSUSE Day
track, or spend a few hours at the openSUSE counter at our booth, please
add yourself to the Staff page[3] in the opensuse.org wiki.

On Thursday, May 4 and Friday, May 5 Ulrike Friedrich and Nadine Pieper
from the human resources department will be present at the booth to
answer any questions potential applicants may have. This offer is
especially targeted at students who consider an internship or diploma
thesis contract at the SUSE research and development department in
Nuremberg.
* Packaging Event
You want to package your software for various distributions ? We can
offer you help and guidance for your first package using the openSUSE
Build Service. We are there to help with open issues and packaging
questions. This event takes place as part of the openSUSE Day track on
Thursday, May 4, at 5pm.
We're looking forward to meeting you at LinuxTag!
