Caldera joins Linux-on-Itanium race A fourth major Linux seller has released a version of its operating system for Intel's upcoming Itanium chip. On Friday, Caldera posted an early version of its OpenLinux product designed for the Itanium chip, the first member of a 64-bit chip family from Intel designed to compete with Sun Microsystems' UltraSparc, Hewlett-Packard's PA-RISC, SGI's MIPS, IBM's Power, and Compaq Computer's Alpha. With this kind of continuing report on the support and uses of Linux I just don't see how an OS like freebsd can retain a critcal mass of supporting developers to advance it. For any using freebsd currently a strategic plan to migrate over time to Linux would seem to be good business. Tom Watson tosiwmee
