IBM develops Itanium workstation – Linux first?

A story on VNU Net hints that IBM May release its first Itanium workstations with Linux: “IBM said 64bit Linux from Red Hat, Turbo Linux, SuSE and Caldera will be available at the same time as Itanium is released, while AIX 5L – IBM’s next-generation Unix operating system – will be available in April. Whistler, the 64bit version of Windows 2000, is expected to follow a few months after that.”
