They said the same here (Halifax, eastern Canada) re. Tru64 during an Oracle
Technology Day about two months ago.
No mention of LINUX or HP-UX, though, this was a joint thing between Oracle
and Compaq.
The Compaq cluster servers were really impressive, each one about the size
of a laptop. Their demonstration went very smoothly.

Brian,
Wasn't that before the merger annopuncement? At a somewhat recent
Oracle
get together they said they were working with HP and Red Hat to get a shared
filesystem developed so that RAC could run without raw devices. Compaq's
TRU64
already had it. Wonder where HP thought they'd get theirs?

That's interesting.
At the 2001 IOUG, I seem to remember someone from Compaq touting how the
TRU64 platform was chosen by Oracle for the initial development of RAC,
and was supposedly the premiere platform for RAC - including getting
away from raw file systems.

Someone, I don't remember who, commented the other day about not wanting
to
leave their TRU64 environment. Well according to the following form
Infoweek,
you may not have an option!

Mandatory Oracle Plug: Another successful migration from TurboImage
(YUCK) to
Oracle included.

** Popular HP Server Bid Farewell
Hewlett-Packard is enticing owners of its once-popular,
now-doomed e3000 servers to buy HP-UX or Linux systems. The most
likely migration path will be to HP 9000 servers running HP-UX,
although buyers could also move to Intel-based ProLiant servers.
HP is using a number of migration programs, including one that
provides e3000 customers with "loaner" HP 9000s until they can
make a full transition.
It's also doing free migration assessments through HP Services
and software and hardware trade-in rebates.
HP's approach to retiring products will be closely watched,
especially as it reconciles its product line with that of the
newly acquired Compaq. Gartner analyst Paul McGuckin says this
process "might help them see what works and what doesn't when
they phase out [Compaq] Tru64" Unix machines.
Virginia International Terminals is taking HP up on its offers.
VIT manages Virginia's shipping ports, using four e3000 servers
to track 1 million containers annually along the state's
shoreline. When HP said it was discontinuing the e3000, "it sent
a shockwave through our organization," says Clark Farabaugh,
VIT's assistant IT director. VIT took advantage of HP's loaner
program to begin migrating its container-management apps to
HP-UX, scuttle its old e3000 Turbo Image database, and adopt the
more Web-friendly Oracle 9i. - Larry Greenemeier
