IBM is certainly looking to Linux to solve several problems - probably eventually getting them out of the AIX business. So I think they are quite serious. I expect CPQ and HP - either combined or stand alone - to do the same with their proprietary Unix offerings. No justification for maintaining a private Unix any more... Linux, with IBM's backing, is rapidly approaching parity with the proprietary offerings and it's only a matter of time IMO.

John, how are you? (and question for Rudedog also), do you see/hear excitement for IBM Linux products with regard to the mainframe, or Intel based machines, or both. The latter has consequences for Dell here, of course.

I would be interested in what you think about IBM's Linux push, friends I talk with on the inside are telling me that IBM really wants to make this into something quite big...

Tony
