Monterey Boots on Merced

Posted by justin++ on from the bronze-medal dept.

Linux Today is reporting that Monterey is booting on the Merced. The Linux Today story makes it sound as if it booted on an engineering sample, not just a simulator. This makes it the 3rd OS to run on Merced, and it sounds as if Solaris is not far behind. Monterey is the first proprietary Unix to do so, however.
