This is typical of IBM when they are in take over mode. By supporting the most
popular distros and yes SuSE is in that group, IBM creates a great middle ware
clientel that has been declining since their OS2 days. You will see their
own Linux distro on their high end servers that should be competatively priced.
This is just friggen wonderfull if it happens! Their inventory of apps and support
structure will allow Linux to leapfrog in to...ok lets dream a bit....desktop land.
IBM's got what it takes to make this happen. Most companies are playing it safe
by pigeon holeing Linux in the server market, but IBM has the invetory of apps
(plus an acquisition or two..hmmm say Corel) to make it happen. They have
already bagged Applix by moving support to ppcLinux so look out..
I think good things can be expected from the boys in blue.
