i am not sure when the kernel changes will be merged into the linus kernels.

well, it looks as though ift won't be getting one for awhile, since right 
now hp/tpg is only giving them to kernel hackers. the good news is that one 
of our employees has expressed some desire to do this, so after he is done with 
a bunch of tests at school this week, he will probably try to get hacking.
my kernel experience is only backporting my sound driver from 2.2 to 2.0 :(

would you like me to start a list on the ift server? i expect it will be 
extremley low traffic until at least the kernel can run a shell.

parisc. they are trying to kill hppa, and rightfully so. but it will probably 
still be around for quite awhile..
