Several Debian folk have acces of one kind or another to IA-64 hardware. I am not aware of any IA-64 systems fully dedicated to Debian development. I am in possession of an IA-64 box from HP on loan to Agilent for evaluation. Not surprisingly, what I want to evaluate is Debian on IA-64, so we've been working to build packages, and have a few dozen done, working in a chroot on top of a TurboLinux installation. This particular machine has not been very stable, but we just went through a processor upgrade to a fresher stepping, and are about to freshen the BIOS. I am hopeful that this will improve things. This, of course, is no substitute for someone like Intel or HP explicitly making a machine available for dedicated Debian use. Hopefully Bruce can join our other friends in HP to help make this happen soon... Bdale
