“Typically, Linux supports a chip after it is already
developed,” said Mike Balma, HP marketing manager for open source

“Linux has grown in significance compared to other operating
environments and it can no longer be ignored. It is growing at 100%
in terms of market share. While a lot of things are happening at
the low-end, IA64 provides a powerful platform for the high-end,”
said Balma.”
