Are you aware that Intel gave the Open Source people full access to the
specs and instruction set for thier new 64 bit Itanium (?) processor - like
Microsoft always get - and while MS still haven't been able to develop an OS
for the chip, there is a version of Linux for it. I think I read that IBM
have released a server running Linux on a dual (or quad) Itanium - Good for
the Open Source guys :o)
Sorry, a wee bit off topic, but I thought it was interesting.
