___________Red Hat's Linux To Run On IBM Products___________
Linux got a big vote of support yesterday as IBM and Red Hat
Software outlined a partnership in which the companies will
develop IBM's server and client systems to run on Red Hat's
Linux platform. IBM hopes the move to an open-source
platform will satisfy customers who are looking for more
than just Unix systems.

By developing with Red Hat, IBM adds credibility to Linux at
the CIO level in the enterprise, and raises the bar when it
comes to vendors waving the Linux flag, according to Stacey
Quandt, an analyst with the Giga Group. "There's a lot of
noise in the Linux space, but IBM has taken it to a whole
new level by developing it from the server to the desktop,"
she says. "Now other hardware or server vendors will need to
do something of a comparable nature if they want to remain
competitive."

Developers from IBM and Red Hat will be working together to
move Linux onto IBM's Netfinity servers, PC 300 Commercial
Desktops, IntelliStations, and ThinkPads. Red Hat will also
train IBM's support staff in Linux, and the two will work
collaboratively on offering customer support.
