Hello Dan,
 
> The Linux distribution I uses is a Red Hat EL-AS 3 (update 4) and the
> platform is an old LION (HP rx4610) (4xIA64 - 666 MHz, 1GB memory).
As we say in france, "Les cordonniers sont toujours les plus mal chausses",
and in your native language: "Nobody is worse shod than the shoemaker's wife".
 
For the moment, I have nothing else than this Lion platform.
I'm waiting after a Tiger system for the end of this month.
Soon, I would be able to open a zoo.
 
Philippe.
