You are confused, my friend! Currently most EDA software supported on 3 Platform , HP-UX, Linux and Solaris. Solaris here means a Sun machine using Solaris OS, it doesn't mean a AMD or Intell CPU using Solaris OS. It won't work. Remember different CPU and different OS have different machine language which require different compiler. The code written for a specific CPU architecture and a specific OSdoesn't alway work perfectly with other similiar family. Follow the instruction from release note. otherwise you will get in trouble later. I remember when my company first bought a Sun Blade, the Hspice program even don't work perfect on it. It work perfectly on Ultra Sparc 10 and Ultra Sparc 60.
Iam aware of that said:Please tell me, is there any EDA application running on your stupid Opteron and 64 bit Linux.
Safe game is Linux 7.3 on any decent systems

Its the fastest x86 machine, and with 64-bit apps for LINUX on the way its gona be a good platform to work with. Not everyone wants to run redhat 7.2 most people cant as they have newer hardware so thier stuck with a distribution that is not supported. Unless you have $15k-20k to spend on a SUN machine (even then the performance is poor, if its a single machines) in order for you to work at home then well thats up to you. Opteron is gaining user demand from engineers alike and pushing the EDA companies to port thier software, Itanium never had this its been nearly a decade since it was released and theres barely half a dozen EDA tools for it and absolutly no user demand.
So the Opteron is STUIPID!!
