“As expected, SAP today announced a team of industry
heavyweights–including IBM, Compaq, and Hewlett-Packard–that will
help the company throw its support behind Linux.”
“Initially, the German software giant said it will support Red
Hat’s version of Linux for R/3 on Intel-based systems. Red Hat,
which sells the Linux operating system packaged with other software
and technical help, also supports Compaq’s Alpha and Sun
Microsystem’s Sparc-based systems.
“SAP said customers will be able to order preinstalled and
preconfigured R/3 systems on Linux.”
