“IBM will debut its new business PC models tomorrow, a line
centered on Intel’s Celeron chip and with a starting price of
$850.

IBM also unveiled today an inexpensive small-business server
based on Linux or the Windows NT operating systems that makes it
easier to link computers and the Internet.”

“On the server front, the Netfinity 3500 M10 server IBM unveiled
today can use two Intel Pentium III processors running at 600 MHz
and starts at $1,765. Options include the first server from IBM to
come with 90-Day Server Startup Support for Linux and 18GB hard
drives.”
