I got another one http://www.it.fairfax.com.au/990112/industry/industry7.html
telling that Dell will enter the market within 3 month.
Japan Hewlett Packard has done so on the 12th and will start shipping their
stuff in April, i hear rumors that Gateway2000 (Japan, in the US they are
already called just Gateway) will be doing an anoucement within 2 weeks.

Creative Labs is looking for somebody to develop SoundBlaster drivers for
Linux and tomorrow Oracle Japan will announce their formalsuport of Linux.

So I guess '99 will be the year when Linux support by hardware vendors
will start to get main-stream. '98 had been for Databases.

I know this should have gone to advocacy, but I am not subscribed there (^^;
