type="cite">kind of sad, yet not really. Both chips are dead
except for really esoteric things (SPARC still used in a game
box?). RedHat dropped it with Fedora at F13. RHEL 6 will not
support either as well (I think).<br>
<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>
