    Answer. This just helps HP-UX system administrators goof off. :-) I actually like the HPUX Visualize workstations, they kick ass as far as the hardware is concerned. I roast comparable ultra5 workstations on a regular basis, running benchmarks on the code I'm fiddling with. Hell yeah, I wouldn't mind one of those running GNU tools instead of a puny x86 linux box. In fact, I used to work at HP and a couple days before I left I saw a guy in the lab boot an hp9000 using the linux kernel to bash. It was pretty neat. Though I'm not sure if there are PIX drivers yet to run X.

  2. Also launched the Red Carpet Express Service by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Ximian also launched their Red Carpet Express service today-- it's a high-bandwidth paid-subscription deal where you pay like 10 bucks a month and get faster downloads. I'm totally down with ponying up a little cash to be able to max out my cablemodem.

    Both the HP-UX release, and the Red Carpet Express launch are good news for Ximian in terms of real dollars rolling in.

    I'm pretty excited about the Express thing-- it's a good opportunity to support a company that does great stuff for the community.
