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>
