PUTTING IA-64 LINUX TO THE TEST
Posted at Jun 13, 2000 07:25 AM Pacific
IN THE LATEST industry embrace of open-source advocates, Hewlett-Packard and Intel on Tuesday released a free IA-64 developers kit that allows the Linux community to develop, test, debug, and run IA-64 applications for Intel's upcoming Itanium processor-based servers and workstations.
The Itanium-based systems will support Linux and other operating systems, according to Mike Balma, director of marketing for HP's open-source and Linux operations.

IBM FURTHER BOOSTS LINUX
Posted at Jun 12, 2000 10:55 AM Pacific
A GREATER NUMBER of IBM's servers, laptops, and desktops will now come with the Linux operating system, company officials said Monday.
"There appears to be enormous demand in the marketplace [for Linux]," said Buell Duncan, general manager of IBM global business partners. "It comes back to e-business. As e-business is taking off, much of the application development is being done on Linux. We want to be there early and stronger than anyone else."

EBUILDER TAKES ONE GREAT STEP FOR E-COMMERCE ON LINUX
Posted at June 9, 2000 01:01 PM Pacific
DESPITE THE GREAT inroads Linux has made toward enterprise deployment, leveraging business resources on Linux in a full-blown, scalable e-commerce solution typically has required a slew of third-party tools or custom-developed applications. Although Linux is fast becoming a stable back-end workhorse, it is still developing its enterprise-worthy ecommerce chops.
Because of limited e-commerce software, mediocre technical support, and nongraphical user tools, businesses have shied away from adapting Linux as a viable, enterprise-worthy e-commerce deployment platform on a large scale.

QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"Taxing and regulating Internet telephony is not only bad for consumers, it stifles competitiveness and endangers the continued development of a vital and growing industry."
