And now for the other shoe ----> I had made remarks about a month ago about
HP-UX regarding a possible phase-out sometime in the not to distant future.
Articles like this tell me that HP is on target to remove any propriety O.S.
as soon as possible.
Last year HPQ had made 2 Billion with LINUX...
Like Alfredo says "Be EXTRA careful, as you go over the hp3000 edge!" I
would add HP-UX to that
edge... HP-UX is the next system in the canyon.
HP becomes a global services provider for the entire Red Hat Enterprise
Linux line
Enterprise Customers Now Have HP as Single Source for Linux Hardware and
Software Support
HP (NYSE:HPQ) and Red Hat (Nasdaq:RHAT) have signed an agreement making HP a
preferred vendor for delivery of single-point fulfillment and service of the
complete Red Hat Enterprise Linux
product line on HP industry-standard hardware. Under the terms of the
agreement, HP becomes a global services provider for the entire Red Hat
Enterprise Linux line of certified solutions, which includes Red Hat
Enterprise Linux AS, Enterprise Linux ES and Enterprise Linux WS. The new
agreement also details further collaboration between the two companies
across their respective global services organizations. "The new agreement
between Red Hat and HP marks an important step in helping to further Linux
in the enterprise," said Al Gillen, senior analyst, IDC. "The
combination of world-class support and industry-standard hardware with the
price and performance advantages of Linux will appeal to enterprise
customers." The worldwide leader in Linux server
shipments, (1) HP will support the Red Hat Enterprise Linux family of
solutions on both 32-bit IntelŪ architecture and ItaniumŪ platforms. HP is
working to integrate Linux solutions with services by offering customers
greater flexibility and single-point-of-contact service-level
agreements. "HP is expanding its relationship with Red Hat to bring
enterprise-class functionality and global support to Linux. Today's
announcement builds on our $2 billion in
Linux-based revenue in 2002 and our decade of commitment to the open source
and Linux communities," said Peter Blackmore, executive vice president, HP
Enterprise Systems Group. "HP is the single source for all Linux hardware
and software support for customers." Red Hat announced Red Hat Enterprise
Linux ES, which is designed for edge-of-network and departmental server
applications such as network, file, print, mail and Web serving. This new
product complements the family of Enterprise Linux products, which consists
of Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS, for high-end server deployments, and Red Hat
Enterprise Linux WS, for workstation deployments. "Red Hat is pleased to be
working with HP on this integrated approach to delivering Red Hat Enterprise
Linux solutions," said Mike Evans, vice president of channel sales and
development, Red Hat.
"Enterprise customers will benefit from increased flexibility and the price
and performance advantage of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux platform on
reliable and scalable HP hardware."

The necrobiotic nature of this cheerful article reminded me of
a book which I bought a couple of days ago and which I have in my
hands as I write this note.
I drove around the Grand Canyon with my family (using Hoover Dam and
the Navajo Bridge as my instruments to go from the North Rim to the
South Rim and back). We did a lot of hiking and I told my kids: "Be
EXTRA careful on the edge". Fortunately, they were EXTRA careful but,
sure enough, along the way, they really understood my advice when we
picked up a book called "Over the Edge: Death in Grand Canyon". Here
are some tidbits (which include technical terms, such as "Y2K" and
"high water mark", that will bring smiles to MPE-IMAGE users).
If you believe that everything interesting about the Grand
Canyon has already been written, you're dead wrong...
Gripping accounts of all known fatal mishaps in the most
famous of the World's Seven Natural Wonders...
These episodes span the entire era of visitation from the time
of the first river exploration by John Wesley Powell and his
crew of 1869 to that of tourists falling off its rims in Y2K.
These accounts of the 550 people who have met untimely deaths
in the Canyon set a new high water mark for offering the most
astounding array of adventures, misadventures, and life saving
lessons published between any two covers...
Dedication: For the millions who come to Grand Canyon in the
future, that they each may walk away enriched -- and in one
piece.
HP's e3000 Software Product Manager Michael Schneck would benefit
from reading this book. In addition to Mr. Schneck, every hp3000
user in the world would benefit from reading this book (Mr. Schneck,
in all probability, is NOT an hp3000 user). ISBN: 0-9700973-1-X.
Be EXTRA careful, as you go over the hp3000 edge!
