AMD Chronology
UNIX to Linux Transition: AMD first used Linux to test AMD-K6® processor-based
systems in 1996. We started the transition to Linux for microprocessor design and
verification in 1997

Currently(14 Jun 04), all AMD internal EDA tool development is done on Linux for AMD64,
eliminating the need for specialized UNIX hardware.

CRN Interview: AMD CEO Hector Ruiz
Linux has always been a stronghold for us. People using Linux in the computer and server space are unconventional thinkers. So that often drives them to be AMD partners. One area Linux is well-known for is high performance, and the Opteron is big in HPC and large clusters. We're continuing to invest in that space. We recently opened a software development center in Redmond, Wash., and we continue to work closely with Red Hat and Novell SUSE and enhancements for Barcelona.

AMD's Linux research in Dresden

AMD plans to establish a global centre of competence for operating systems in Dresden. At the Operating System Research Center (OSRC), a team directed by Chris Schläger will be working with AMD's processor designers to "optimize future generations of AMD microprocessors for the requirements of modern operating systems."
Up to the beginning of the year, Schläger was the development head at Novell for SuSE Linux.

LinuxBIOS však získava podporu výrobcov, ako je napr. AMD a SIS, ale aj Acer a ďalší. AMD dokonca uvažuje, že v budúcich generáciách základných dosiek umožní(uz som cital, ze odporuca ako primarnu volbu) OEM výrobcom použiť LinuxBIOS namiesto klasického BIOS-u.

Z tohto je uplne jasne, ze zmenu postoja k Linux-u u AMD si ziaden zastanca platformy LinAMD nemoze priat, skor len podriadenie sa Ati taktike AMD

nastastie original hovori nieco ine
” He also promised that AMD is “going to be very proactive in changing way we interface with the Linux community.”
