   Are there (m)any IA-64 on this usenet/newsgroup?  I'm mostly a VMS   
   user and in terms of UNIX/-derivatives I mostly prefer IRIX (EOL, I   
   am aware; but, that's not stopping me), HP-UX and occasional Tru64   
   user.  I do have aproximately 10+ years of experience with various   
   kinds of Linux though, but I'm fairly new to Gentoo.   
      
   I was wondering, how many IA-64 (Itanium) users are here?  Or, can   
   anyone tell me about ongoing IPF (Itanium Processor Family) systems-   
   oriented developments and initiatives going on?   
      
   I have a fairly modern HP Integrity rx2620 server, with dual-core   
   processors and what-not.  I've run into some problems, unfortunately.   
   (With various Linux distributions, not just Gentoo.)  I was therefore   
   wondering if there are perhaps any efforts, to help iron out possible   
   bugs and quirks here and if I perhaps could be of any assistance?   
      
   Another reason I'm inquiring is that I'm keen to try out some modern   
   PCI graphics adapters (like the AMD/ATi Radeon HD5450) and see if   
   the open source Linux driver can provide in my needs, perhaps with   
   full DRM/DRI support (that'd certainly be very nice).
