“IBM stepped up its commitment to the Linux operating system at
the PC Expo show in New York last week.”
“The company announced a partnership with Caldera to provide
education and support to resellers and companies using Linux. IBM
will provide support for Caldera’s OpenLinux and Caldera will help
IBM port software to OpenLinux. The two companies are trying to
convince businesses to try Linux. One reason that businesses are
supporting Linux for some applications is IBM’s endorsement,” said
Ransom Love, chief executive of Caldera. Software vendors welcomed
the move and said the pieces were falling into place for using
Linux for real business applications.”
