From a review at Linux World: “IBM has become legendary in the Linux community for its repeated announcements and
reannouncements regarding Linux support. It seems every six months at some Linux show or even
a general PC show, IBM pledges across-the-board Linux support. That is all very odd because
since Big Blue’s first altar conversion a couple of years ago, it has done a great deal for the Linux
community (despite purported resistance from the AIX group), but by constantly reproclaiming its
allegiance, it gives the impression that it never followed through on prior pledges.”
