Well, the article is in large part Digital (a division of Compaq)
sales hype, but here's one of the releases about the Digital Domain
project: <
http://www.digital.com/alphaserver/news/titanic_398.html>.
An article by (apparently) some of the people involved indicates both
Linux and NT were involved, as well as some SGI hardware. It seems to
be from the middle of a long argument. <

And of course, where I first read about it, Linux Journal, now has
that article up at <
http://www.linuxjournal.com/issue46/2494.html>.
(For some reason I first read it in the print edition, which is
available somewhat earlier.)
