Eric,
     There is some question now as to whether this machine really is a 64
processor or just has 64 bit extensions. I must admit I am not as au
fait with the technology as I ought to be.

That said I have a piece of code with some hand optimised assembler that
no longer compiles on this machine! The precompiled binary does run, it
just won't compile.

I expect that for now we will just load up the 32bit redhat and go with
that. It will get configured as an aips host at some point and if we
encounter problems (Don't expect to) we will let you know.

The hostname is golina if you want to log on and have a poke around.
