applications using GNUPro tool suite on many embedded platforms
used extensively throughout Lucent’s Wide Area Network Switching
Products. - A contract with Vitesse Semiconductor provides Open Source
assembler for next generation Denali chip. - Closed contract with Scan Logic to provide Linux platform
solutions for Cypress’ newest USB chip used extensively in MP3,

embedded Linux. Through this relationship, Red Hat will further
advance the capabilities of Linux as a superior alternative to
proprietary embedded offerings and will reinforce their vision of
delivering embedded-to-enterprise capabilities. - Acxiom has selected Red Hat as a one of its strategic
technology suppliers for IA-32, IA-64 and IBM zSeries platforms.
