Sun needs more Linux partners (ZDNet) [LWN.net]

ZDNet looks at Sun's Linux strategy. "Dell, Hewlett-Packard and IBM partner with one or more OS distributors for kernel integration and support. Sun's limitation in using a version of Red Hat's Linux will likely prevent it from capitalizing on performance enhancements in enterprise applications and database management offered by Red Hat's Advanced Server--drawn from partnerships with Oracle and other ISVs. However, this limitation reflects Sun's plan to target edge-server applications based on LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP) and Sun One."
