I've just purchased a small Itanium server, a HP RX2600. I see that it will run Windows Server, Linux, and best of all - OpenVMS. Since there isn't a hobby distribution for 8.3-x (both OS and Layered Products), will someone with the current media who is willing to share please contact me off-list? I will gladly provide media and pay postage, etc. I am a LONG time member of DECUS, and later Encompass and a member on the hobbyist site. I joined DECUS in 1981 when I was working with PDP-11's. I've been working with VAXen since 1983, and more recently Alpha's. This Itanium will be a new and welcome (I hope) experience for me. I miss VAX assembler, it was like programming in a high-level language compared to anything else I've worked with. Thanks in advance, Stuart J., on list as ssj152
