HP Announces Support for Debian Linux

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the helping-hands dept.

Bain writes "PC World reports that HP is to offer support for Debian Linux on its ProLiant and HP BladeSystem servers. Support will be provided by HP telephone operators rather than the discussion-group method that current Debian users rely on. The move to support Debian continues HP's relationship with the community-based OS, which stretches back to 1995."

    HP's offer will apply to the current "Sarge" version 3 of Debian and to version 4, "Etch," due in December. (Debian versions are named after characters in the movie "Toy Story.")

    I'd be interested to know how much this gentleman had to do with it:

    He's a former Debian Project Leader and now Linux/OSS CTO at HP.
