'Lintel:' The new frontier

Operating system choices for the forthcoming IA-64 platform will
become much more abundant when a group of vendors finishes
collaborating on a port of Linux to Intel's 64-bit architecture.

The "Lintel" effort, known as the Trillian Project and funded by
Intel, is currently being cobbled together by a consortium led
by Linux developer V.A. Linux Systems. It includes
Hewlett-Packard, SGI, Intel, and Cygnus, and will soon include
IBM. The first open-source code should be available early next
year, or about the time Intel's IA-64 chip -- Merced -- is ready.

Looking to provide customers with servers tuned to specific

IBM later this month plans to deliver a new member in its Netfinity
line of low-cost Intel-based servers, running Linux, targeted at
Internet service providers and application service providers
(ASPs). And last week the company delivered its first
application-specific AS/400 servers, specially tailored to run Lotus
Domino-only applications.
