1.1. Presentation
This document is a guide on the use of products proposed by the hardware manufacturer [Google Scholar: WebSocket] Hewlett-Packard (HP) under Linux. It's a quick reference guide, covering all what you need to know to size, install and configure your products under Linux, or which complementary software will be useful for their use. Frequently Asked Questions find answers, and references are given concerning other sources of information related to HP technologies and applications.
Opinions expressed here are those of the author, and don't commit both Medasys or Hewlett-Packard . Informations are provided in the aim to be useful to the readers. However, there can't be, through this document, any warranty of any kind either from Medasys or HP on these systems under Linux, as well as from myself. Neither Medasys, nor HP, nor the author could be responsible for any problem caused by the use of this information. However, software editors don't guarantee you a lot either (re-read the contracts).

Sometimes the HOWTO available from CD-ROM vendors, ftp sites or printed format are out of date.
