“IBM announced yesterday that it has made available a Java
Virtual Machine and other Java tools for Linux on its alphaWorks
Web site.”
“Located at www.alphaworks.com/tech/linuxjvm, the Virtual
Machine is available for free download. The JVM is based on the
same speedy model that IBM earlier claimed was the fastest
available under Microsoft’s Windows operating system. Both Windows
and Linux run on Intel hardware. The availability of a JVM for
Linux was predicted by IBM officials as likely to increase the use
of the open source operating system for Java development.”
