[Posted September 18, 2002 by cook]

News.com reports on IBM's efforts to bring Linux to its line of servers. "IBM will complete the next step in its embrace of the Linux operating system by early 2003 as the company improves how Linux runs on its pSeries servers. Big Blue currently supports Linux, a clone of the Unix operating system, on its xSeries Intel servers, its iSeries mid-range servers, its zSeries mainframes, and its pSeries servers that typically run IBM's AIX version of Unix. Right now, pSeries servers require AIX, but future models will run with just Linux."
