      support either as well (I think).<br>

      The really sad part is the number of system still out there that
      are now destined for the trash heap because of no more software
      support. SGI sold a small crapton of Itanium gear designed for
      Linux. The code is still in the kernel so it will be around for a
      while longer.<br>
