[Posted January 22, 2003 by corbet]

Here's a selection from the dozens of LinuxWorld press releases which have found their way to our inbox:

Dell has announced a new set of high-density supercomputer cluster offerings.
Egenera has sold a number of its BladeFrame systems to JPMorgan Chase.
HP has announced a new set of big customers and various new offerings; the company claims to have done $2 billion in Linux business in 2002.
IBM's big announcement is the availability of the Lotus iNotes client for Linux. "In addition, IBM announced enhancements to its Linux hardware and software offerings for Linux, including a new reference platform that makes it easier to create Linux-based smartphones and personal digital assistants (PDAs); Tivoli(R) systems management software for Linux; integrated software and services for its mainframe Linux support; as well as performance improvements for Intel(R) processor-based Linux servers running Linux." A separate announcement talks about new customers, including the PGA Golf Tour.
Linuxcare has announced the general availability of its Levanta server consolidation software.
LTrix Engineering is pitching its kernel debugger (with the appealing name of "lice"); $2000/seat.
RealNetworks has released the code for its Helix DNA server. This pretty much completes the set of code releases that RealNetworks promised to the community.
Red Hat seemingly has no new products to announce at this time; instead, the company has put out a press release on what a good year 2002 was.
SGI has announced several new customers for its "Altix 3000" Linux-based supercomputers. SGI has also announced an expansion of its Linux developer program.
Sun announces the Sun ONE software stack for Linux (several new products), an expansion of support for the Grid Engine project, the forthcoming availability of "Mad Hatter" (Sun's Linux desktop), and a few other things. There is also a separate PR for the Grid Engine "portlet" code contribution.

And on Day 2, <a href="http://icculus.org/news/news.php?id=1122">they show off Medal of Honor: Allied Assault</a>. Both pieces are good news for home Linux users, as the scope of games looks to be expanding again. Since icculus.org doesn't put out press releases, though, they don't usually get scooped up.
