Slashdot Article:
"IBM has released a new mainframe server that doesn't include its z/OS
operating system. This Enterprise Linux Server line supports Red Hat or
Suse. The system is packaged with mainframe management and
virtualization tools. The minimum processor configuration uses two
specialty mainframe processors designed for Linux. IBM wants to go after
large multicore x86 Linux servers and believes the $212,000 entry price
can do it."
