Subject: [Linux-ia64] Basic Advice Needed
Date: Mon, 01 Apr 2002 03:20:01 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590701905348@msgid-missing> (raw)
I have some very basic newbie questions. Is ia64 Linux stable enough
for use for very long running and high memory using (> 5 GB)
scientific computations?
And a followup, if it is stable, is this stability really only found
on kernels above a certain number? If so, what number should I be
upgrading to?
And finally, are certain distributions more committed to ia64 niche
market? And is HP-UX more stable?
Longer story: I bought a Dell workstation of off eBay and the seller
is trying to install Linux on it. He installed SuSE from the isos and
claims it is unstable at high memory. Unfortunately, he doesn't have
any commerical OSes so it is hard to tell if this is a hardware or
software problem. He also can't make install CDs for RedHat because
RedHat doesn't release ia64 isos. :)
