Hello All,
I have acquired an HP Integrity rx2600 with 16GB of RAM (because someone needed xmas money and they sold it to me for $600) Has dual Itanium processors and about 400GB of HD space.
I would like to know what Linux distributions support this machine the best. HP says RedHat Enterprise Edition, SUSE Enterprise Server, HP/UX, OpenVMS and Windows 2003 Server Enterprise
Edition.These are all really expensive and I would like to find something different.
This machine will actually be my development machine as will need to run VMWare or some other virtualization solution so I can keep things separate. I have a lot of contracts right now for software development work and I prefer that each have a separate VM instance to keep things separate and organized.
Does anyone have thoughts?
-Jason
