Gentoo Linux was one of the last few Linux distributions continuing to maintain Itanium (IA-64) architecture builds but that is now being phased out for those discontinued Intel processors.
How many IA-64 machines are still running at all? I never knew they even made that many in the first place!
They were made up to 2020, and vendor support lasts until next year. HP bought into Itanium hard and continued to sell those chips as long as they possibly could.
Oh wow, I guess both of the HP-UX users will be gutted to read this!
