  2. some interesting information... by semis · · Score: 5 · on Trillian Project Release Linux for IA-64

    From the FAQ,

    Q6: What is the contribution of each of the members of the Trillian project?

    A6: Cygnus is porting GNUPro Toolkit (GCC, G++, GDB). HP is provided the initial kernel and glibc port, and continues to work on the kernel. IBM is providing kernel support. Intel is providing IA-32 support, IA-64 platform port, Apache port, and various drivers. SGI is providing an optimized C compiler and kernel support. VA is leading the project and providing kernel support, boot loader, commands and libraries, Xfree86, Mesa, E & GNOME, and the GIMP.

    Wow. Look at all the large companies behind this. IBM, SGI, Intel. All big players. One of the biggest problems that linux faces with hardware, is that of always playing "catch up" with Windows for hardware support. Efforts such as these can only be considered to be a Good Thing for Linux in general.

    I've seen signs of that...

    such as, the Trillian Project at http://www.linuxia64.com/, Andy Grove's cameo at Linuxworld in San Jose, and Intel offering access ia64 boxes for people to promote porting software. How much more do you need?

    I think that the folks handling Alpha could learn from this in a big way. Intel is helping to get gcc up-to-snuff on their ia64 chips. ... Meanwhile ... Compaq releases a beta of the compiler formerly known as Digital Unix's cc as closed source. And only offers it in .rpm format.
