Will HP stand behind Linux

and extensive UNIX expertise to open source environments. HP offers a full portfolio of Linux services, ranging form phone-in
assistance through proactive and mission critical services. In addition, a global education, installation and integration services
and multi-vendor network services are available to meet Linux and multi-platform support.
What is the HP Performance
Tuning Framework*?
The HP Performance Tuning Framework is a preloaded utility which enables the most favorable configuration of HP
Personal Workstations delivering stability and best performance. The Framework will guide your system setup, allowing a
"custom" configuration that best matches the workstation to user requirements. This customization facilitates availability of
the latest graphics cards and drivers and removes some memory restraints. The Framework’s extensible design permits
new configuration functionality and application support be easily integrated over time. To facilitate the delivery of such
new features, the Framework automatically updates itself when newer versions become available. The Performance Tuning
Framework, available only from HP, can help save both time and money and increase overall productivity. For more infor-
mation on the HP Performance Tuning Framework, go to: http://h20331.www2.hp.com/hpsub/cache/285683-0-0-225-
