Debian Linux to Get Down to Business?
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

While lots of people in the business community talk about Linux these days, and while the various Linux distributions that are based on the Debian offshoot of Linux are probably second only to Red Hat in terms of installed base, you just don't hear businesses talking about Debian.

by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Chip maker Intel yesterday announced a tweaked version of its "Madison" generation of Itanium 2 processors that sport higher clock speeds and a faster front side bus. Provided that Intel gets its dual-core "Montecito" Itanium processors out the door at the end of the year and into systems by early next year, as the current plan is, this should be the last iteration of the Madison chips to come to market.

Dell Debuts First Dual-Core PowerEdge Server
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Server maker Dell last week put its first PowerEdge server into the field using a dual-core processor. Because Dell is exclusively shipping processors from Intel and has shunned chips from rival Advanced Micro Devices, Dell has to start at the low-end of the market and make do with the dual-core "Smithfield" Pentium D chip, which is the only dual-core X64 processor that Intel makes today.
