[CS-FSLUG] In hopping chips, will IBM hop Solaris and Windows too?

[Fred A. Miller]

"In hopping chips, will IBM hop Solaris and Windows too? 
 IBM's Chiphopper takes the expertise that went into making Red Hat's and 
SuSE's distributions of Linux portable to IBM's mainframe and Unix servers, 
and bottles it up into a turnkey tool that software developers can use to 
painlessly port their apps from the x86 version of Linux to IBM's big iron 
systems. This free program could have significant impact on everything from 
Java to the viability of OpenSolaris as a development target to the continued 
viability of IBM's big iron. In fact, my podcast interview with IBM's 
worldwide Linux chief Scott Handy left me convinced that Chiphopper (tied 
with Scalix) is the coolest--and possibly most disruptive--technology to 
emerge from last week's LinuxWorld."
