I still run it on a SPARC.  If I still had an Alpha I would
probably be running it n that, too.  I never have and never
will own an Itanium.  But I do still work on a 6809 running
OS-9.  I doubt it will ever show up there.  And then there
are my PDP-11's and VAXen.  :-)  Linux isn't the best thing
since sliced bread no matter how many architectures it runs
on.
