Red Hat Reveals Support For AMD's Hammer

Posted by Hemos on from the support-the-new dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Red Hat had been rumored to be working on support AMD's Hammer architecture, and now they have made it official. Now if I can get a hold of one of these my little site will finally be able to handle a good slashdotting with 16GB of DDR333! 'Red Hat will provide native 64-bit support for processors based on AMD's x86-64 technology, while providing support for existing 32-bit Linux-based applications.'" Combine this with Linus' feelings and Hammer is looking better and better.

  3. SLASHDOT POSTER CAUGHT HAVING GOAT SEX!!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Frequent Slashdot poster and Baywatch actress Bonnie-Jill Lafin caught having GOAT SEX!!!!!

    One of the only women to post on Slashdot, Bonnie-Jill Lafin, was recently spotted on the farm of Slashdot editor Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda having unprotected sexual intercourse with the 2-year old male goat, dubbed "Jon Katz".

    CmdrTaco was quoted as saying, "I don't see what all the fuss is about. I always do the deed with my farm animals. In fact, just the other day my buck-toothed wife wouldn't give me any, so I was forced to engage in interspecies fellatio. I was always wondering why the Slashdot trolls post that filthy website http://goatse.cx. Curiosity got the best of me."

    It's unclear if Ms. Lafin will be prosecuted, although police are investigating an unconfirmed tip that CmdrTaco has a secret stash of 400 gallons of goat semen stored in his basement, next to his Lunix boxen.

    Indeed, my PC is too slow today.
    Please, more speed!
    It just takes too long to filter
    the 300 virus emails I get each day.
    But I digress... marketing demands a catchy name...
    Red Hammer?

    US is now divided as the "Red" and "blue" states. Red States = communist countries. Coincidence? I think not
