Everyone is having a hard time finding help.
There was a post last week about a $24.5 million computer. A quick serach of their web sight showed they are looking for people too.

This individual will be a system programmer in the MSCF Operations Group with responsibility for maintaining and modifying the Linux kernel on a 1400 processor IA64 Linux system utilizing both the Quadrics interconnect and a 2Gb/sec SAN.
I wish I had some kernel programing experience. This would be way cool to work on.
HP and intel co-developed the McKinley (and I assume Madison) processor.
HP developed a chipset (zx1) that features a high memory-bandwith low memory-latency. The 2-way board has 3 PCIX (512 MByte/s) ports. The 4-way has 4 PCIX ports. http://www.hp.com/products1/itanium/chipset/index. html
Since HP helped Dreamworks move to Linux (Shrek was rendered on a linux farm), it appears they are realizing the market for Linux services. In January, they announced they were open sourcing their printer drivers.
Why emphasis HP? They are providing the services, the hardware, and chipset. Intel is only providing the CPU's (and only half if HP co-developed them).
