Well, I'd like to change the purpose of that list.  Back when ia64 was new,
I think there were significant bragging rights for `First Distro!'.  But
I think we're beyond that now, and it'd be a more useful list if it has
`Most up to date release distro'.  So I'd be in favour of something like:

<h2>IA-64 Linux Distributions</h2>
<li>Debian 3.0 (Woody) <a HREF ="http://www.debian.org/distrib/">Download instructions</a> 
<li>Red Hat Advanced Workstation<a HREF="http://www.redhat.com/somewhere/i/can't/find/anything/on/their/website/">Information</a>
<li>Red Hat Advanced Server <a HREF="http://www.redhat.com/somewhere/i/can't/find/anything/on/their/website/">Information</a>
<li>SuSE Enterprise Edition <a HREF="http://www.suse.com/us/business/products/sles/sles7/sles_ia64/index.html">Information</a> 

Obviously representatives from those companies should suggest better
wording & URLs than this ;-)

Disagreements?
