"Today the Trillian project team announced that the port of
Linux to Intel's forthcoming IA-64 architecture is up and running on the Intel IA-64 software development
environment."
"Formed earlier this year, the Trillian project includes Cygnus Solutions, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Intel, SGI
and VA Linux Systems and represents the first major effort by the server and workstation industry to
support an Open Source project of this depth and scale. Other major contributors are expected to join the
project. Additionally, the Trillian project will work closely with Linux distributors to ensure timely release
of their offerings. Results of the project will become available online to the Open Source community within
approximately six months, allowing software developers to develop applications for the Linux
environment."
" 'We are pleased with the progress that the Trillian team is making on the development of Linux for
Merced,' said Ron Curry, Director of Marketing, Intel IA-64 Processor Division."
