Well, to me an inherited IA64 is in the same department as, say, an
inherited Onyx or StarFire 10k server.

I'm not sure how stable the non-enterprise distros run on IA64 - due
to limited availability outside the enterprise (HP discontinued the
workstations years ago, AFAIK), testing is limited, too and stability
always a concern.
At least to me.
Would the thread-opener disclose if his IA64-box is a hobby or part of
a commercial operation?
