At work I'm doing testing on an dual-processor Opteron server we have on loan for a few months. I'm mainly testing our "bread-and-butter" 32-bit Windows Server 2003 (while waiting for the x86-64 beta version to be sent to me), but I also have another set of disks that I installed Fedora Core 2 for x86-64 to. I brought it up with Gnome - pretty cool stuff. It's my first Fedora experience - most of my recent Linux work has been with Mandrake.

Anyways, I figured I'd post about this if any of my Unix/Linux buddies would want me to test out any applications on this platform as an informal part of my eval. I plan on testing some PHP/MySQL stuff, as well as current and beta versions of Zope. I don't know how much of the software that comes with FC2 was compiled for 64-bit use, but since the server only has 2GB I don't think that's a huge issue. The server's use of the Hypertransport bus and the Opteron's onboard memory controllers give it some advantages over the comparable Xeons even with 32-bit stuff.
