from a friend:
"I did it on Athlon 64/SuSE 9.2 and a new 4 x Opteron-CPU system (loan for
tests from HP) with SLES8 SP3. The only very little problem was to find out
that the glibc-devel-32bit rpm-package is needed. All is going without any
problems up to now. I've done an oracle CPU stress test (orabm). Therefrom
our Opteron system is nearly 4 times as fast as the CPUs from expensive SUN E15k (1.2 GHz CPUs). "
