If you want to try out Linux on the Itanium architecture using an IA-32 system go here. You can download a simulator and a development environment at no charge. HP released this SDK in 2000 to help developers before systems were available. David Mosberger (maintainer of IA-64 Linux kernel) developed the SDK along with Stephane Eranian. It's still a good option if you can't get access to a system.
If you want to know more technical details about Linux on the Itanium Architecture, David and Stephane just released a book "IA-64 Linux Kernel: Design and Implementation". David was signing copies at HP's booth at LinuxWorld NY.
