IBM Revs p690 Server, Offers Linux Across pSeries Line: Page 2 of 2

IBM on Tuesday beefed up its Unix/Linux eServer p690 server by boosting the processor and adding more memory to the hardware.
February 24, 2004

Additionally, IBM said it would sell Linux across the entire pSeries line, including the new, faster p690. Until now, IBM has been offering Linux only on lower-end pSeries servers, such as the p615, p630, and p650. Now IBM will sell either SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 3 on all pSeries servers.

IBM won't actually install Linux on the pSeries; instead, Red Hat and SuSE will deliver the software to customers themselves.
