HP and Debian

[Elliot Dray]

I have a brief question about HP and Debian. I thought until recently that 
Debian was HP's preferred Linux distribution, but I read recently that HP 
have signed some agreement with RedHat. I also read that long time advocate 
of Debian Bruce Perens no longer works for hp.

I know that some HP Unix/Linux guys read this list. so my question is has 
Debian been confined to the backwaters of HP Linux development in favour of 
Redhat? can we expect the hardware documents locked in the vaults of HP to 
be scrubbed and released for open source developers to construct drivers for 
HP specific hardware?

In other words is the love affair over?
regards
Elliot
