Hi Erik,

Nice!  Fedora on Itanium sounds convenient, especially for smaller
systems.  I've built a few Fedora RPMs on our new Altix 350 and was
happy to see things work.

So does SGI have any sort of position on Fedora for Altix?  Making ia64
RPMs easily available (perhaps even creating/supporting a repository)
seems like a good way to promote that architecture.
