"We at Red Hat have always recognized that the Linux <BR>development model is unparalleled. That Adaptec recognizes the Linux <BR>operating system and the Linux development model as beneficial to the PC <BR>industry speaks volumes about the future of Linux," said Robert Young, <BR>President, Red Hat Software. <BR> <BR>"I have been using Adaptec controllers for several years, both in my PC <BR>and as a PCMCIA controller for my notebook, so naturally I am glad that <BR>Adaptec has chosen to embrace Linux," said Jon "maddog" Hall of Linux <BR>International. "While the Linux community has been able to provide <BR>drivers for some Adaptec controllers, it has been a lot easier, faster and <BR>more dependable since Adaptec began actively supporting Linux, <BR>particularly in the age of high-speed, highly dependable SCSI subsystems <BR>that Adaptec creates." <BR> <BR>Mike Wangsmo, Director of Quality Assurance, Red Hat Software, agreed. <BR>"The driver quality and level of support that we can now offer truly <BR>benefits the Linux OS and the Linux community. Having native support for <BR>the cards rather than reverse engineered support gives huge performance <BR>increases and really illustrates how well made the Adaptec controllers are." <BR> <BR>Adaptec will provide SCSI chip design information and host adapters to <BR>key developers in the Linux community, will provide Linux distributors <BR>product and information for their respective QA labs, will investigate the <BR>distribution of low level (e.g.hardware abstraction layer) source code as <BR>open source to make it easier for developers to produce more <BR>maintainable, reliable and extensible drivers, and will investigate Linux <BR>support of other Adaptec products including ethernet cards, 1394, RAID, <BR>etc. <BR> <BR>"Adaptec is committed to being an industry leader by offering the broadest <BR>and most reliable operating system support. Adaptec is excited to be <BR>working with Red Hat Software, Inc. to ensure that comprehensive and <BR>reliable driver technology is widely available to the Linux market," said <BR>Andy Walsh, Marketing Manager of Adaptec's SCSI Channel Products <BR>Group. <BR> <BR>ABOUT ADAPTEC, INC. Adaptec (NASDAQ:ADPT) designs, <BR>manufactures, and markets hardware and software products that optimize <BR>the flow of data between computers, peripherals, and networks to improve <BR>total system and application performance. More information on Adaptec's <BR>products can be found at www.adaptec.com. <BR> <BR>ABOUT LINUX Linux is the freely distributable, cooperatively-developed <BR>POSIX-based, multi-user, multi-tasking operating system used worldwide. <BR>Linux is used as a high value, fully-functional UNIX?workstation for <BR>applications ranging from Internet Servers to reliable work group <BR>computing. <BR> <BR>ABOUT RED HAT?SOFTWARE, INC.
