Compaq to offer Linux support

Joel Stone was the first to tell us "Stop the presses! Compaq has thrown it's weight behind Linux - For details see link " This follows on from Compaq's announcement back in September. However, this goes one step further: Compaq will help the Linux community get Linux working on Compaq hardware (as they did with with their donation of an Alpha to Debian), they will provide telephone support, and port Compaq software to Linux on the Alpha and x86/IA 64 platforms.

In related news, we are informed by an anonymous coward^H^H^H^Hntributor that ISS Technical Support staff are telling current customers that they will no longer support their products (at least RealSecure) under Linux. Only WindowsNT and Solaris.
