“IBM has refused to confirm speculation it will soon join a
consortium of vendors working on a port of Linux to Intel’s 64bit
architecture.”
“The Trillian Project already includes VA Linux Systems, HP,
SGI, Intel and Cygnus, which are working together on Lintel – a
version of Linux for the high end IA-64 server and workstation
market. They are aiming to make the open source code available
early next year to coincide with the launch of Merced.”
“However, Lintel may be marketed to the same part of the market
as Project Monterey – a joint initiative between IBM, SCO and soon
to be acquired Sequent for a common Unix on IA-64 flavour.”
