Although there are 64 bits releases of Linux, I wouldn't use it (yet), but that is a personal choice. The most important reason (for me) is problem when using additional software.For example, the Flash plugin isn't working on a 64 bits system. Likewise with Java.
[...] In this case you have only two solutions: 1) Does not use crappy plugins that doesn't work under 64Bits system. :) or 2) Use nspluginwrapper.
Regards, Patrick 2008/4/11, Jim McCarthy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:Hello -- I recently acquired an HP zx6000 dual Itanium-2 workstation, and so I was very pleased to find Scientific Linux (version 4.1) available for the IA-64 architecture. But according to the SL news archive, SL 4.1 for ia64 was released 08-Aug-2005, and it appears none of the other SL 4.x or SL 5.x releases run on ia64. Are there many SL users running on ia64 ? Are there plans to continue SL support for this architecture ? Many thanks, -- Jim ___ My SL 4.1-ia64 install went smoothly, and so far my only regret is finding that the Open Motif X11 window manager (mwm) "experimental" version 2.2 (openmotif-2.2.3-9.RHEL4.1.ia64.rpm) was chosen for SL 4.1 (as well as for RHEL) and not the Open Group's officially supported and more stable "openmotif-2.1.30" release. http://www.motifdeveloper.com/tips/Motif22Review.pdf
