Hello there,

We're putting an equipment application together and we have to decide
(soon) on whether to go with a Sun server or an IBM one. We *need* to
run S-PLUS on this server. 

The problem: since AIX isn't supported, we thought we could run Linux
on the server and use S-PLUS for Linux. However, there seem to be some
compatibility / support issues for *other* software products when Linux
is not running on an Intel chip. The IBM machine we're looking at has
RISC RS64 IV chips.

The question: Does anybody have any experience on running S-PLUS for
Linux on this kind of chips? Any problems? Libraries work fine? 

Since I'm subscribed to the digest form of S-news I'd appreciate it if
you could reply with Cc to me: matias @ math.carleton.ca

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance for your
time.
