Is IA-64 something the FreeBSD development team is looking into at all? Although I'm generally an end-user and an aspiring C/asm programmer ;) hehe, I think I MIGHT look into this IA-64 stuff... but I'll need an O/S to power it and although NT5 is 64-bit compliant I don't want that to be my window into 64-bit computing....
