Yahoo! today notes

       "...HP has formed an alliance with Red Hat Software, Inc., one of
        the largest Linux distributors and service providers. The alliance
        will provide end-to-end service and support for HP customers. In
        addition, HP intends to port Linux to its platforms based on the

(Oddly, I could not find the press release at HP.com .)

Separately, NEWS.COM reports not only on HP, but on Compaq, Dell, IBM, and
SGI as well, and their respective plans for Linux.
