[Info-vax] Itanium in the news (NOT)

[Neil Rieck]

LINUX SOFTWARE HOUSE Red Hat has decided that there is not enough
interest in Intel's Itanium processor to keep supporting it.

The next version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 will be Itanium free
and while Red Hat is not the only Linux it will be a bit of a morale
blow for Intel.

The Itanium is Intel's 64-bit enterprise chip, which we've long called
the Itanic, and it is not exactly a best seller for Red Hat.
