Linux Lab Funded With Big Dollars

by Dave Murphy
ISSN 1535-3613

Dave Murphy, DGL President & ITrain founder Freelance Linux programmers, the cadre of application designers committed to fighting for competition in the operating systems market will receive a big shot in the arm today.

I expect the industry giants IBM, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, and NEC to announce today their funding of a new computer laboratory in which Linux programmers can test their software on large computer systems that are common in the corporate world. The lab will open this year near Portland, Oregon.

Irving Wladawsky-Berger, the head of IBM's Linux group, said the lab would help companies run hardware from different vendors together, as well as let run clusters of computers working as one extended system..

The Open Source Development Lab is also backed by smaller companies that specialize in Linux products, like Red Hat Inc., Turbolinux Inc., Linuxcare Inc. and VA Linux Systems Inc., as well as Dell Computer Corp. and Silicon Graphics Inc.

The lab will run as a nonprofit organization.
