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 On Thursday 16 March 2006 14:07, Coles, J (Jeremy) wrote: > Henry/All > > It seems that Erwin Laure is also unsure about EGEE middleware during > the SL3 to SL4 transition and there are currently no firm plans with > regard to stopping support on SL3.
