Most of the informations provided here come from research made in HP documentations, files provided with Linux kernel sources, the FAQ of the Usenet newsgroup news:comp.sys.hp.hpux with a HTML version available on all mirror sites like the CICT, our experience as an HP VAR, a lot of tests and deployments realised, and remarks from Linux users.
Numerous people have contributed to this document and augmented its contents. You'll find the most complete possible list in the Chapter 7. I would like to thank just now, without any particular order, those without whom this document would simply not exist :
