Sun Microsystems Inc. said it will announce, as early as next
week, widespread support for the Linux operating system on its
hardware, according to an exclusive

Sun has been working quietly with distributors and a select
number of Linux community representatives to port Linux to its
UltraSparc processor by as early as February.
