It does work fairly well. NUMA is still nonexistent, so there will be performance penalties, but that's in the works and we hope to have that committed soon. There is still a lot of work left to do across the board, and a lot in-progress. We have several users with the Raptor Talos II systems, some with 2x CPUs, I currently have only one CPU, but plan to buy another one later this year. Installation should be straight forward. The biggest gotcha of it is to download the right image. The memstick image has for a long time been broken, but the .iso image can be used on a USB stick to do an install, and it works well. - Justin
