[PLUG] IBM Linux on iSeries is here


YKK, the largest maker of zippers, will use a Linux-only IBM server to run an 
Internet site to let customers track orders, the companies will announce 
Thursday.

YKK America will use an iSeries AS400 server, a special-purpose machine 
typically sold in conjunction with software, to run a Web site where customers 
can place and check orders and monitor inventory. The company will use IBM's 
Linux-only iSeries product, the lower-end i820 that can accommodate one to 
four processors and can run as many as 15 instances of Linux simultaneously.

Versions of Linux from SuSE, Red Hat and Turbolinux run on the iSeries models. 
YKK is using SuSE's edition.
