Linux controls IBM mainframes

,----[ Quote ]
| Consolidation for everyone is IBM's stated 
| reason for releasing a Linux version of its 
| System z mainframe. The new Enterprise Linux 
| Server (ELS)  is a stand-alone system 
| specifically designed for Linux environments. 
| According to IBM, the financial savings can be 
| up to 80 per cent. Furthermore, a "save-as-you-
| grow" pricing model is intended to facilitate 
| investment decisions by allowing customers to 
| gradually purchase resources at considerably 
| lower prices than that of a complete system.
