Heh, SGI Altix..... Got two, formerly used for weather modelling. I
have successfully rebuilt up to CentOS 5.9 (I haven't been able to
justify the work yet to get to 5.10, but over the summer perhaps) on our
30-CPU SGI Altix 350 system, and it's running on a small 4 CPU Altix
3700 (we have another 3700 with 20 CPU's, but it has a hardware issue
somewhere). RH support IA-64 in RHEL 5, so if you have an RH contract
you can run straight RHEL5 on it.
My newest servers are by most standards fairly old these days; a pair of
Dell PE 6950's and a scattering of PE 1950's. But they're solid, and
they do the job.
