   Are there (m)any IA-64 users and developers present here, or looking   
   onto this usenet/newsgroup?  To briefly introduce myself: I'm mostly   
   a VMS (as in OpenVMS) user and in terms of UNIX/-derivatives I mostly   
   prefer IRIX (EOL, Iam aware; but, that's not stopping me), HP-UX and   
   occasionally Tru64.  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, could   
   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).
