Re: [LIH] Intel 64 bit architechture

Hi,

You have definitely chosen the right place to ask this question. Linux was 
ported to the IA64 quite a while back. One of the members of the team at 
Intel that did the job is also one of the founders of Linux India -- Arun 
Sharma. If you ask him, he will give you more information than you can 
possibly use. He will also explain to you why *BSD is better than linux and 
why the GPL is the work of the devil. *grinning, ducking and running*
