> 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.
