“On deadline and with a minimum of fuss, the all-star Trillian
team delivers Itanium Linux beta code to the faithful.”

“Intel’s 64-bit Itanium chip is still months way, but the
Trillian open-source consortium will have its native Itanium Linux
ready to roll the second it comes off the fabricator
line.”

“The Trillian project on Wednesday released its code to the
open-source community.”

“Given that Itanium is a server-class chip, Trillian Linux will
include facilities for clustering, SMP, large memory, large file
systems and performance monitoring. 64-bit Linux will be
enterprise-ready Linux from the get-go, claim the Trillian
companies…”

“Users will not be stuck with 32-bit tools in a 64-bit
operating-system world. Instead, almost all major software programs
— from development tools such as Java, Perl and Python, to
enterprise applications like Apache, Samba and SendMail — are
either already ported to Trillian or are far advanced on their road
towards 64-bit application status.”
