Good Morning,
Recently the lab where I work acquired one HP Workstation with Xeon (64
bit) pocessors - HP Z400 workstation. The Question raised here is: does
Scientific Linux supports this processor?
We do know that Red Hat Enterprise Edition Worsktation (WS) does fully
support the hardware. We do however prefer to keep Scientific as standard
for the lab.
May, please, anyone help?
Thank you for your time and Help!

Brief Answer: Yes
Longer Answer:
If it runs on a version of RHEL (WS/AS, Client or Server) then it should work
on the matching version of SL.
RHEL4 update 6 -> SL 4.6
RHEL5 update 3 -> SL 5.3
Does SL support all the architectures that Red Hat support
IA-64, PPC, s390x as well as i386/IA-32 and x86_64 ?
I *think* that an HP Xeon workstation is IA-64.
