PA-RISC Linux Distributions
Bordeaux, France. With its increasing success, the initial case study spawned into a larger project that
was open to students either on their free time or as part of their classes, and more of them joined what
was to be called the PATeam. From 2001 to the end of 2003, the team has been very active, doing
numbers of development in the Linux kernel (writing drivers and improving overall stability).
Unfortunately, in 2004 and thereafter, ESIEE gradually reduced its support for the project, and nowa-
days it doesn’t support it anymore, save for website and machines hosting.
3.3.5 Distributions
Since late 2005 there are two popular Linux distributions that include the PA-RISC port: Debian and
Gentoo.
Debian
Debian
27
includes PA-RISC Linux as Debian/hppa
28
in various releases, including 4.0 ( “Etch” ), 3.1
( “Sarge” ) and 3.0 ( “Woody” ). CDs can be ordered as media or downloaded as ISO images from
Debian FTP mirrors
29
in the 4.0_*/hppa (or 3.1_*/hppa or 3.0_*/hppa) directories.
Gentoo
Gentoo
30
was the second distribution which included a PA-RISC port
31
. Gentoo is completely compiled
from source and uses a BSD-style ports system.
