Boscov's turns to Linuxcare for help running Linux on IBM mainframe - Computerworld Boscov's turns to Linuxcare for help running Linux on IBM mainframe - Computerworld - Using Levanta, Boscov's set up the mainframe with about two dozen virtual Linux servers sharing binaries and executables, Schwartz said. On Boscov's machine, the virtual servers replace a host of former Windows NT servers, including 11 production boxes, 10 test boxes and several others still under development. Boscov's is from my neck of the woods (PA). This is were IBM is at its most brilliant. They have recreated linux such that it will run on any of IBM's iron. Imagine selling everything from laptops to supercomputers running just one operating system, and an open source one at that. This is why IBM is IBM. They see the future and run up and give it a big hug. 4:48:06 PM  comment []
