IBM Supporting Linux On Power Processors

aheath writes "IBM issued a press release today titled 'Businesses Embrace Linux and IBM POWER Technology', indicating that: 'IBM eServer pSeries and iSeries systems are available for SUSE and Red Hat Linux operating systems (OS) on IBM's POWER microprocessor-based architecture.' CNET News are running a story about this, too, explaining: 'IBM has put more weight behind its effort to attract customers to Linux that runs on its own Power processors, an initiative that distinguishes Big Blue from its competitors in the server market.' IBM has also signed up 300 vendors to provide software to run under Linux on Power processors."

Can we have GNU-free distro, just to pissoff RMS? by Glasswire · 2004-01-22 03:21 · Score: 0, Troll

Ah yes, when will someone release a simple distribution that uses non-GNU components so we can tell RMS:
SEE! There CAN be Linux without GNU, so calling it all GNU/Linux is wrong!
