“Despite swirling rumors that Sun Microsystems is eyeing a
Linux player, not every Sun division appears to be drinking the
open-source Kool-Aid.“
“Specifically, the Sun-Netscape alliance–dubbed iPlanet and
co-owned by America Online–continues to fire blanks on many
long-promised Linux ports for its server offerings.”
“While iPlanet has been shipping Netscape Directory Server on
Linux for several months, it has not delivered its promised
messaging server for Linux, despite announcing its beta
availability nearly nine months ago. Netscape Messaging Server 4.1
shipped in May sans support for the open-source OS.”
