Ivan,

There are a limited number of servers inwhich PA_linux will run, and there are still a lot of issues, so it depends.

* will softuware for HPUX run on PA LINUX ?

ANSWER=NO

* is it possible dual boot HPUX and PA linux?

ANSWER=Not with ONE DISK, and NOT if the firmware is changed to load PA linux

* will RedHAT linux for Risk processors run on this
machine ?

ANSWER=NO

Yes they both will, but your 715 doesn't have a lot of memory.

Before doing anything, make sure you have good make_recovery tapes so you can go back to hpux if necessary.
