We have two Altix machines (256p BX2 and 24p 3700) that are still stuck
on SGI PP3 because we're hesitant to go to SuSE. I recall SGI saying
that RHEL 4 (and thus CentOS 4) should work but that RedHat has a
"hangup" on supporting anything with more than 16 CPU's.
We have a "test" 8p Altix 350 that, if I can find some time, I might try
to install CentOS on it.

ProPack 5 has support for RHEL 5, thus why I would prefer to wait for
CentOS 5. I'm in a holding pattern on my migration until then since PP4
is not *officially* supported on RHEL 4.
Currently my machines ( 64p x 64g 3700 & 32p x 32g prism) are running
RHEL AS 3 PP3SP6 and SLES 10 PP4SP3. CentOS 5 and ProPack 5 offers my
users a great deal in terms of support and features. I get regular
updates, much newer software and "supported" (not from SGI) ProPack 5.
BTW: I tried booting on my 3700 it booted the kernel to a point where it
identified the serial number and machine configuration details but
didn't seem to go any further. I only messed with it for about 20 mins
during a downtime period so it was far from comprehensive testing.
Hopefully, when the loaner Altix 450 arrives I can work out some of the
bugs.
