Gentoo/Opteron On The Way

Posted by timothy on from the all-the-kids-are-doing-it dept.

An anonymous reader writes "From the latest Gentoo Weekly Newsletter: '(SCI) will be helping the Gentoo Linux development team to create a 64-bit version of Gentoo Linux for the AMD Opteron processor. SCI will initiate this relationship by providing the Gentoo Linux development team with a dual Opteron workstation as well as any other assistance required to officially support for the AMD Opteron platform. In cooperation with RackSaver, SCI will arrange for early access to future enterprise-class hardware. RackSaver has joined SCI in its efforts to support the continued development of Gentoo Linux into an enterprise-level operating system.'"

    except that a huge percentage of the code that the open source movement has produced is nowhere near 64-bit safe, so even if you compile it for a 64-bit architecture the software is going to dance fandango on core like it's free drinks night at the beach club.
