[LUAU] Intel Doubles Down on Linux

[Hawaii Linux Institute]

Yesterday's eWeek has an article entitled "Intel Doubles Down on Linux":

http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1838267,00.asp

The article mentioned that Intel has created a "Linux Program Office" to 
pull Intel's efforts on Linux together under a single umbrella (as Intel 
as been doing regarding the Microsoft platform).  These efforts span 
programs aimed at notebooks, desktops, servers, storage and vertical 
markets such as telecommunications.

One of the most frustrating aspects of working with Linux, especially in 
the desktops arena, is the lack of competent drivers.  Or sometimes, 
lack of drivers, period.

Intel's move should (and I hope "will") put a lot of pressure on the 
Taiwanese peripheral makers, which, until now, have been selfishly 
ignoring the Linux market by failing to provide even the most 
rudimentary drivers for Linux, not to mention participating in the 
open-source (or even open-spec) movement (and got away from it).  This 
is a very exciting development, and I hope AMD will respond soon.  Wayne
