I found out this morning that upper management has directed that Alpha Linux
LKCD and related work on Linux crash tools be stopped as a cost cutting measure.
This directly impacts me, since that was my job and my contract is up in just
over a week. Needless to say I am disappointed at this shortsightedness. I
wonder if they considered that they are basically handing this market to
Mission Critical Linux when they made this choice. No doubt they'll regret it
in a couple of years when the Linux marketshare is too big to ignore.
I'll be returning my AlphaStation tomorrow, but I will continue to use LKCD on
my i386 platforms. I do have a suggestion, that LKCD releases be announced on
freshmeat.net, especially considering that the Intel branch work is so close to
being complete.
