,----[ Quote ]
| Project Big Green Linux supports the company's Big Green initiative, which
| was announced in May 2007. As background, the Big Green initiative is a $1
| billion per year commitment that's designed to sharply reduce data center
| energy consumption for IBM and its clients. Big Green Linux is a drive to
| help IBM's clients to incorporate Linux into their IT as a way to reduce
| energy requirements through consolidation, load balancing, and more efficient
| use of resources.
