Linux is continuing its spread from the scrawniest to the
burliest computing devices, with new products emerging this week
for low-power chips all the way up to mainframes.

“LynuxWorks will announce Monday the release of its SpyKer
event-tracking software, a programming tool that monitors low-level
operation of LynuxWorks’ BlueCat Linux or other Linux versions as
well as LynuxWorks’ proprietary LynxOS. SpyKer will cost $999 and
will be available for Linux versions at the end of November.”

“And on the high end, German Linux company SuSE has released a
version for IBM’s S/390 mainframes, now known as its eServer
zSeries machines. SuSE, Turbolinux and Red Hat each will sell
software for all of IBM’s four major server lines, the companies
have said.”
