Five Candidates Chase Three COMMON Board Seats
,----[ Quote ]
| Since last fall, COMMON, the midrange user
| group that is trying to expand beyond its
| AS/400 base to encompass AIX and Linux users
| on Power Systems boxes, has been looking for
| some new board members to replace three
| members that are due to vacate their positions
| later this spring.

Power Systems i: The Windows Conundrum
,----[ Quote ]
| Moving Unix apps to Linux is not a big deal
| for mainframe shops with lots of systems
| talent, and while the competition between
| Linux and Windows is indirect because they are
| very different operating systems, moving a
| print or file or Web server from Windows to
| Linux is not a big deal for big iron shops. It
| is safe to say that the porting and
| enthusiastic supporting of Linux on mainframes
| has preserved that mainframe business, which
| would have otherwise gone into decline.
| (Specialty engines that accelerate database
| and Java applications for a reduced hardware
| and software price haven't hurt the mainframe
| biz, either, I realize.)

| "Forty percent of servers run Windows, 60 percent run Linux," he said. "How
| are we doing? Forty is less than 60, so I don't like it. ... We have some
| work to do."
