"...Linuxcare has won a new contract with Hewlett-Packard,
bolstering its effort to take on Red Hat and VA Linux Systems in
helping the computer industry to use Linux.
Linuxcare will back up HP's own technical support for Linux. HP
will be able to call on Linuxcare engineers around the clock and
have the option to let Linuxcare take over thorny problems
involving the Linux programming code itself, the companies
said.
Linuxcare also has contracts to help IBM, Dell and Compaq with
their Linux operations, and Sun Microsystems selected the company
to support the Linux version of its StarOffice software
package."
