Compaq's release of Linux for the iPaq will allow researchers and developers to write new applications for handheld computers and other intelligent appliances, said Nora Hahn, a Compaq spokeswoman. The idea is to try to encourage use of Linux as a common operating system and development tool for handheld computers. http://www.infoworld.com/articles/hn/xml/00/06/19/000619hnipaq.xml - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - LINUX GETS A BOOST FROM HP, INTEL Posted at June 16, 2000 01:01 AM Pacific MARKING THE LATEST industry embrace of open-source advocates, Hewlett-Packard and Intel this week released a free IA-64 developers kit that allows the Linux community to develop, test, debug, and run IA-64 applications for Intel's upcoming Itanium processor-based servers and workstations.

The kit will allow hardware and software makers to add ease-of-use features to their products based on an industry specification called Universal Plug and Play (UPnP), Intel said. UPnP enables devices to automatically identify and configure themselves when they are connected to a network, hiding the complexity of that work from the end user.
