i am looking for a real redhat version like the as3 for dual opterons but i am looking for the "free version" (wink wink)

i need a irc or a url for a download for a true 64bit amd dual opteron system i have but it is collecting dust from the lack of usage pease i know someone out there will be so kind as to give me the hook up

yeah i was using root but it was under the root given by the install of gentoo

i can oppen the /boot/grub/grub.conf but i cant write to the partition using nano for some strange reason

go to linuxiso.org its the place for disto downloads

i was installing gentoo the other day and the install went well up to the point i had to install the boot grub and i had to make the .conf boot on the ex2 boot partition but i kept geting a read-only access when i was trying to write to the partition using nano

i started a 32 bit version of gentoo installation for a p4 and i have to say it is very nice for a newbie cause of its sinck or swim i was woundering how to make it a 64 bit os once i install on my dual opteron server

Admiral LSD thanks for the help but my hard ware is server lvl i have 4 gb of ecc pc 3200 and 2 250 gb drives and 4 sata raptor drives for faaster tranfers oh and i cant leave out the gigabit ethernet i am not use too and also not seeing the jump in performance from anyway. btw my email is hunter_a_man@yahoo.com if you or your "peeps" have what i am looking for oh and when i do get this server up ill be able to give a nice dump site for kind ppl such as yourself. and always let the software developers get paid by the corperations that inslave them ____ -| _ | - <=>

i have found http://www.linuxiso.org a good provider of the different flavors users have come to love and hold close to there hearts when answering polls just like this one i have not found a dual opteron linux distro to date

i have found the srpms from the ga-tech mirror site off of red hat there version advanced server 3 is what i think i need i just need to now find out how to get the rpms to install(you see i am an exwindows user and newbie linux user so i am in end-user pergatory) thanks for your help but while i am making the switch i had some idea linux was difficult due to the redhat 5.2 i had used for a little but had thought it was at least easier than earlyer versions(not to say i dont like challenges), so in short i am lost with no easy path to find my way save for this forum

I can not find a single offical release of any amd64 dual opteron supported os. the distros i was hoping to get from the info i have now are redhat AS 3 for amd64, suse enterprise server 8, or mandrakes 9.2 for opterons. i have yet to find a release for either bsd or debian if anyone knows of a good distro or of a means to GET the iso in some way your help would be thanked.
