IBM lets Linux programs run on Unix servers
,----[ Quote ]
| IBM Virtualization plattform “PowerVM” lets X86-Linux application programs
| run unmodified on system p servers with power processors.
|
| This ability called by IBM “Lx86”. Linux Binaries are recognized
| automatically and run under AIX exactly the same way they run under Linux.
| Thereby among other options the server consolidation will be facilitated for
| the users. Lx86 becomes part of all editions of PowerVM (before
| hand “Advanced power Virtualization”).

The Mainframe Still Lives
,----[ Quote ]
| Listen up, boys and girls, the mainframe is not dead; in fact, it's very much
| alive. Every few years, people predict that the mainframe is on its last legs
| and will be taken over by the technology du jour.
|
| [...]
|
| Kernochan said that the growth in demand for the mainframe has led IBM to
| enhance its own mainframe administrative tools in two ways. One is through
| incorporating features from, or integrating with, Linux platforms. The other
| is through adding to its collection of tools for the z/OS operating system.

Linux still super in Top500
,----[ Quote ]
| In the June 2008 Top500 list, Linux still lives large with a role in 92% of
| systems (It is the only OS for 85.4%, but when considering all distributions
| (SUSE, Red Hat, CentOS, and general ‘Linux,’ as well as mixed uses that
| include Linux, I figure the share is more like the 92%).
