| Project listing | |
The Gentoo HPPA project is designed to bring the Gentoo GNU/Linux operating system to the HP Precision Architecture (PA-RISC) platforms. We aim to provide a usable computing environment for your various HPPA related endeavors. Since hardware graphics support for Linux is rare in HPPA computers, the project focuses on server usage.
