Nah, we really didn't. This project came up kindof fast. We did think about
doing some tricks with dd, or moving disks around, but finally we decided to
just install multiple machines in parallel cause it was less hassle in the
long run. Other than a few questions up front, installing from CD is pretty
straight forward. It's mostly feeding disks occasionally. That's what Jr.
sysadmins are for. :-)

Yes, I've recently heard of it. I'm upgrading Debian right now on another
zx6000 I have here at home to sid so I can try it.

No, I hadn't heard of the Gelato project. The web page looks interesting.
There's quite a few other big projects I know of all moving to Itanium/Linux.
