Hi,

	Greetings  !!

	We have three Hp 9000/735 machines running HP-UX 9.01. We are now
interested in loading LINUX on them and scrap HP-UX. What are the
chances that we can do that ?



	If we can, then Could you pl guide us step by step procedure to do that
change. We have been using LINUX on PC's.





regards.

bye

depends what you want to do really.  you stand a significantly better
chance of being able to do that if all you want is to watch the machine
crash :-)

we have no intention of providing an X server (anyone want to start
working on that...?), but you should be able to try the alpha release
for the 712 on a 735 and gasp in amazement as you manage to execute
simple shell commands.

What are the odds that the stock X11 Xhp would just work (or could be
made to just work)?

Does that use the ROM X11 driver included in graphics devices,
or is it a to-the-metal implementation.  If the latter, is the
source code open?

... A more direct reply might by:

 -- Text User Interface mode should work directly.
 -- X is a bit dicey, and you are invited to tinker and contribute
to the pool.
 -- If there are other aspects which you are interested in, feel
free to ask.

  Matthew, is this a fair summary? -- I was thinking of cutting over
a 735 myself.  I'll keep notes on the conversion, and probably post
a HowTo if this is the case. /// I'll summarize ...
