IBM and Red Hat are broadening a partnership to promote Linux on Big Blue's mainframe computers. The two companies said this week they're packaging Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 with IBM's Integrated Facility for Linux, a feature Big Blue sells to let customers run the open-source operating system within a mainframe partition. Customers didn't want to have to order the technology as two separate items, said Scott Handy, vice president of worldwide Linux at IBM. In addition, "they can expect attractive pricing for this offer," he said--though customers will have to contact IBM or a partner if they want to find out how much of a discount they'll get. On a mainframe, Linux is relatively expensive. An annual Red Hat subscription costs $18,000 for round-the-clock support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
