[Info-vax] The attempts to keep Linux on Itanium (attempt number 0x7fff_ffff)

[Simon Clubley]

There's been another batch of moaning from some people wanting to
keep Linux running on Itanium:

My question is _WHY???_ are people still wanting to run Linux on
Itanium for goodness sake ?

Unlike other obscure architectures that Linux runs on, you can't
even emulate Itanium systems in a full-system emulator - you need
the actual expensive, noisy, power-hungry, etc, hardware to run it on.

Huh ???
