Subject: Re: SL roadmap
Is there any timeline for SL4/x86_64 support?...this is of
partucular interest to us because we will have several hundred
Opteron boxes turning up in a few weeks and although they will
run SL3/x86 this is clearly sub-optimal. ( In the short-term we will
partition our cluster in order to provide legacy support).
cheers,
Alex
