What do you think of BELM in this deal?? Wednesday February 2, 8:34 pm Eastern Time Sun to offer Java and computer chips for Linux NEW YORK, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Sun Microsystems Inc. (NasdaqNM:SUNW - news) said on Wednesday it would distribute its Java business software to Caldera Systems later this year, enabling the Linux developer to write Java-based business software for the alternative operating system. Separately, Sun said Bell Microproducts Inc.(NasdaqNM:BELM - news) unit TradeMark Computer Products will build the Linux operating system on Sun's powerful computers running on the Sun SPARC chip design. Sun's chip design competes with Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news), which on Wednesday announced a milestone in efforts by a coalition of Linux software providers in developing an operating system that can run on its next-generation microprocessor line. The Sun announcements, made at the LinuxWorld Conference held this week in New York, came as other major software and hardware vendors are embracing the alternative operating system, especially for Internet-based tasks. IBM said last month has said it sought to make all of its major computer product lines Linux-ready. Software supplier Computer Associates and Linux software seller Red Hat Inc. (NasdaqNM:RHAT - news) are also in a deal to combine some of their offerings. Sun's deal with TradeMark allows customers who choose Linux to run software from Red Hat on Sun's powerful processors. ``In certain applications where customers have selected Linux, notably in education, R&D and Internet service provider markets, they can now run on the 64-bit UltraSPARC processor,' said Barbara Gordon, vice-president of Sun's worldwide sales. SUN expects to ship a Linux version of Java 2 by mid-February. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More Quotes and News: Bell Microproducts Inc (NasdaqNM:BELM - news) Intel Corp (NasdaqNM:INTC - news) Red Hat Inc (NasdaqNM:RHAT - news) Sun Microsystems Inc (NasdaqNM:SUNW - news) Related News Categories: US Market News
