Red Hat, HP, Intel Join in Itanium Linux Alliance

joel_archer writes "According to this Yahoo! article, Red Hat will begin selling an Itanium version of its Advanced Server Linux in partnership with HP. This is one of partnerships currently underway between these two companies. HP is a key partner for anything Itanium-related, the company invented the design underlying Itanium before handing it off to Intel to develop and manufacture. Bolstering that effort, Red Hat and HP have signed a deal under which Advanced Server will be certified on and available with all of HP's Intel-based ProLiant servers--not just Itanium systems, but also lower-end Xeon and Pentium versions and superthin 'blade' systems."

    Im not sure you heard the news, but I have it from a reputable -1 Slashdot post that Bruce Parens was found dead in his home this morning. Even if you never liked his work, you can appreciate what he did for open sores and wannabe communist Linux users everywhere. He will be missed :(
