I don't see a `contact the webmaster' link, so maybe he or she reads this list... Debian released Woody in 2002. SuSE announced: "Enterprise Server 8 is also available for [...] HP Itanium 2-based servers, [...]" Red Hat released AS & AW for ia64. Not aware of any other announcements, but I don't follow that too closely. -- "It's not Hollywood. War is real, war is primarily not about defeat or victory, it is about death. I've seen thousands and thousands of dead bodies. Do you think I want to have an academic debate on this subject?" -- Robert Fisk
