There's nothing specific for itanic2, it's treated the same as a plain
itanic at the moment.  Both chips are a bit like hard work to program.

I'd be surprised if there wasn't at least one free OS that would run
on whatever machine you're looking at.  You can go over to
testdrive.compaq.com and run some code to see how alpha and itanic
compare.
