Linux reseller vendor partnering with IBM. That’s not the case. It

each company.”

“IBM and these Linux players will announce hardware bundling and
software support at next week’s LinuxWorld in San Jose, Calif.
While details are sketchy, each vendor will have a strong
relationship with IBM, according to sources close to each
company.”

“Critics may consider IBM’s Linux moves a publicity stunt to

the tip of the iceberg.”
