Depending on a number of factors, HP maintains a system called 
Testdrive (www.testdrive.hp.com). They have a number of Itanium systems 
that yo can log into. The group that runs testdrive does not have very 
much funding, so there is not a lot of support.  It is a totally free 
service. BTW: My desktop system in the office is an HP Integrity rx2620 
running RHEL 4 update 2. 

Additionally, HP has a loaner program. Much depends on the size of your 
business. HP also has a Linux Expertise Center in Marlborough. You can 
also sign up for a system there, though they tend to deal with HP 
partners. You can sign up to HP's DSPP program, which I believe is 
free.
