I just got my second opteron demo in a rack and will be installing RHE3
on it today.  Of course, playing with yum is on my list of things to do.

OT...
Also on my list is substantiating claims that suse's opteron kernel is
_twice_ as fast as RHE3's AMD64 kernel.  Apperantly RH didn't build a
kernel with NUMA support for the opteron.  If I can support the claim,
I'm also wondering if a quick kernel rebuild with NUMA enabled will
help.
