This I find very curious. From the web page "Meanwhile, Dell is using Linux and Windows to try to reach into prestigious customer accounts. Dell, in cooperation with Microsoft and Intel, announced an agreement to give the Cornell Theory Center $60 million worth of Dell servers over four years. The companies expect to benefit from the donation in part by gaining expertise in running Microsoft's operating systems and database software in high-performance environments and in translating Unix and Linux software common in the academic world to Windows. The center also will help Intel test its new Itanium processors. " And I always was led to beleive that everyone used MS software to run everything. Now Dell has to give away their top of the line systems in hopes of getting high performance software from the UNIX/Linux world for Mr. Bill and his inovative products. What curious times we live in.

Now a word from my employer. We have several Linux distributions on various models of HP servers on testdrive, including SuSE. The servers we have running on Testdrive include Alphas running both Linux and Tru64 Unix as well as PC servers running Linux and we even have a couple of Itanium systems and one iPaQ. Please feel free to get an account and log on. (Also, the engineer who maintains testdrive prefers SuSE). http://www.testdrive.compaq.com -- Jerry Feldman Enterprise Systems Group Hewlett-Packard Company 200 Forest Street MRO1-3/F1 Marlboro, Ma. 01752 508-467-4315 http://www.testdrive.compaq.com/linux/
