Fedora core for the Itanium

No?? that's a shame.

We have a big HP Itanium box at the company I work for
but we have a lot of problems with it, specially with
the OS (HPUX).

We have lots of production servers with Fedora Core 3
x86-32 with great results and we are very interesting
in getting RHEL.

But I'd like to test the ia64 box with a LiveCD or
something like that but I can't find one for this
arch.  Ubuntu says AMD64 but I guess that won't work
on Itanium, isn't it?  and FC5 doesn't have ia64
support on installable media.  How can I install FC5
on this itanium box?

Besides, I was wondering what is the status of Oracle
support in RHEL4 for ia64.  Red Hat site says this
arch is supported so I guess Oracle works fine there:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/release-notes/as-itanium/

Cheers,


-William
