Intel Begins Support for Debian

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday November 17, 2005 @08:51PM from the coming-around dept.

An anonymous reader writes "An Intel Software Architect announced on the Debian mailing list yesterday that Intel has begun supporting Intel devices on Debian sarge for their extensive reseller channel. This covers the D845, D865 and D915 chipsets and was done to meet customer demand. They've posted drivers as well as the various distributions supported by the chip maker (Debian, Mandriva, Novell and Red Hat). Looks like the pure open source distributions are finally getting the attention of the big players!"

I'm not sure I understand why you say that gzip can only compress one file. It's pretty clear from its manpage that it takes multiple files and also has a recursive option to descend into directories. (It's clear however that you don't need to tar a single file, unless there's some reason like to fit within a system that expects to receive tarballs.)
