Lotus is to port its Domino R5 groupware to the Linux
operating system, but said it has no plans to run the Notes client
on the open source operating system in the immediate
future.

“Speaking exclusively to Silicon.com, VP of product management,
Cliff Reeves, said: “You will have to watch and wait to see Linux
on the desktop.”

“He added that Lotus has seen an “immediate demand on the server
side,” and it will continue to watch the market, and move when
there is demand to port to Linux on the desktop.”
