ANNOUNCE: New TurboLinux IA-64 distribution

WHAT'S NEW
=====
* GNOME desktop by Helix Code (lots of goodies).
* Upgraded to the latest kernel (2.4.0-test1 + 0621 patch). The toolchain is Cygnus May 1 release (2.9-ia64-000216-final) with some additional patches (-mconstant-gp, -mauto-pic, gas unwind fixes).

Upgraded to the latest glibc snapshot compiled under 2.3.99-pre6. All the binaries from the 0505 release should work under 0714.
* Netscape is installed by default and runs under IA-32 emulation mode.
* Early support for kernel modules.
* X11 server still XFree86 3.3.6 for ATI Rage 128 only. XFree86 4.0.1 is available on our update ftp site for those who need support for other graphics cards and for video driver development. Note that 4.0.1 is not stable at this point.
* New RPMs: gnapster, cdrecorder (yes, we burn our CDs on IA-64).
* Fixed RPMS: strace, am-utils, nfs-utils.
