[Bioclusters] Itanium 2

[Marcel Turcotte]

Hi all,

I about to buy some equipment, which include a bunch of Sun Blade
100/150 workstations (15).  I was wondering if some of you had any
experience with Itanium 2 based workstations.  I am concerned with the
usability of Linux64 as a workstation (availability of software) and the
integration with the rest of the equipment, which includes a Sun V880
as well as an HP rx5670.  The machines will be be integrated into a
single cluster, probably using GridEngine.

Your feed back will be greatly appreciated,
Marcel
