Now, that will be useful, regardless of OS. I suspect the typical
Linux user would like to know where to get the firmware upgrades.

Greg, I wasn't trying to get you to drop the references to HP-UX. Nor
am I objecting to the LDP hosting the document. (Not that I can veto
the document, nor would I if I could.) I was simply voicing a
concern.
I think HP-UX users will find this useful. I know I would have when I
worked at FSL. Most HP-UX users will not think to come to the Linux
Documentation Project to find it. Will you make an effort to let HP-UX
users know you are doing this and where to find it? I don't know how
to go about that, but I suspect some googling would be a good start.
