“ICS and LinuxPPC to bridge Enterprise applications to Linux
running on the PowerPC.”

“Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc. (ICS), the leading supplier
of Motif products and support, and LinuxPPC, the publisher of the
most popular Linux distribution for PowerPC computers, today
announced that the standard distribution of LinuxPPC 2000 Q4
includes Open Motif. The port of this toolkit to LinuxPPC was the
result of a joint development effort by LinuxPPC and ICS.”

“With this announcement, LinuxPPC becomes the first major Linux
publisher to include Open Motif with it standard distribution.
Although other Linux distributions make Open Motif available with
their commercial/enterprise distributions or on their “contrib” CD,
the decision to make every copy of LinuxPPC “Enterprise Ready” is a
first in the industry.”
