“In its latest push into the Linux arena, IBM has ported the
open source operating system to its S/390 mainframe.”
“The S/390 is IBM’s high-end mainframe server, which experts
claim is the industry standard for the world’s largest companies.
However, many have questioned Linux’s ability to perform in such an
environment.”
“IBM will offer full services and support for the OS through its
IBM Global Services division and Linux distributors SuSE and
TurboLinux, giving the official seal of approval to a port that has
been available to the open source community since the beginning of
the year.”
“IBM said it has been taken by surprise by the popularity of the
Linux port, which has had 2,100 downloads since its posting on open
source Web site.”
