Hello everyone: Just a short note to say thank you to all of you who responded to my earlier request about 64-bit machines and Linux. I didn't realize just how many flavors of Linux are running on AMD 64 machines, it was an eye-opener. And the Intel EM64T and the Itanium (IA64) and the HP Alpha. Remember that Linux has over 10 years of experience with 64-bits. This is more than any commercial Unix except for HP's Tru64 Unix. And Windows is not quite there yet as a fully released product.
Linux also runs on UltraSPARC (Sun and Fujitsu), IBM/Fujitsu z/390 mainframes and on the new PSI IA64-based mainframe (z/OS, Windows, Linux, Solaris x86_64) not yet out in the wild, using Amdahl mainframe microcode and setting to offer resilience and uptimes to rival anything from IBM, looks like my boys will be back with a bang.
