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.

Do you actually have an old itanium server that you're using for home labbing? Lmao

Lol I used to use it for that. About a year ago I tried to boot it and only 1 CPU came up and the memory was failing and before the bios crashed it was trying to boot but didn't see the disks 😅 I looked at the board and one of the cpu socket brackets was cracked so I put it back in the shed
