Motorola and IBM. Financial details of neither deal were
released.”

“Motorola Computer Group, part of Motorola’s Integrated
Electronic Systems Sector (IESS) has inked a deal that will make
Linux ready for always-on telecom applications. Under terms of the

operating system, which will be shipped with its carrier-grade
embedded computing platforms.”

“Red Hat also announced Tuesday that it has a deal with IBM
that will enable a commercial Linux developer to bundle all of
