Eveline Pete didn't write that. That was a little misunderstanding on my part which Pete did his best to straighten out. UNIX and LINUX both support (in a general sense) 64 bit processors. If I have it right now, the porting of applications is required for a program to run in native mode on each processor/OS combination. The Alpha is a capable risc processor which has not been all that well accepted within the mainstream of its target market. (high power requirements and heat buildup are part of the problem) Windows NT is making dents into the lower end traditional UNIX ONLY turf. The StrongArm is a wildcard, a joker. A 233mh risc chip with paltry power consumption, huge capabilities, and very low cost. Linux, too is a joker in the deck, and it comes, like UNIX, many flavors. (Which half-way explains the "who ported the Linux?" questions.) The StrongArm capabilities are wasted in set-top boxes, NCs and the like. Like using a Pentium 2 to control a stoplight. The information flow seems to be on hold for now. We might as well wait for the Gala and examine the reports. Leo
