Open Ticket for Continental

Continental Airlines encountered a bit of turbulence last year when it decided to shift the ticket-reissue application it had built for Unix-based servers to a full open-source software stack with a 64-bit database server

There were no 64-bit editions of some of the key drivers and software products that the Houston-based airline needed for the application. So developers had to trek to Hewlett-Packard Co.'s service center to test and certify the drivers to run in 32-bit native mode on the 64-bit HP Linux systems.
