WALTHAM, Mass., Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Novell (NASDAQ:NOVL) and IBM have launched a joint promotion to encourage software developers to build their applications for Novell's SUSE(R) LINUX Enterprise Server on IBM POWER platforms. SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 9, with the scalability and performance enhancements of the 2.6 Linux kernel, combined with the processing capabilities of IBM POWER5 processor-based servers, including IBM eServer OpenPower, IBM eServer BladeCenter JS20, IBM eServer pSeries and IBM eServer iSeries, provides a strong foundation for a full range of applications. By promoting the creation of new applications for the popular Linux on POWER platform, this initiative will expand customer options for what they can run on Linux.
VisualWorks already supports Linux on PPC - I'm even seeing a few downloads of BottomFeeder for that platform. If this is a platform that interests you, have a look at our product.
