Check out the HP Itanium SuperDome servers, they can do the same types of things as an E10K and they already have certified RedHat Advanced Server support. On Tue, 2002-12-17 at 09:56, Emmanuel Seyman wrote: > On Tue, Dec 17, 2002 at 09:33:15AM -0500, Lima, Mauricio wrote: > > > > Any body knows

That is correct. Until RedHat releases Advanced Server AND gets the proper input from Sun on their US-II architecture, you won't see this happen. In some cases you won't see this happen anyway, the E10K really is BIG iron and Sun has repeatedly said that Big Iron has much to do with the future
