Wall Street firms to get hands-on look at Linux from IBM
In an announcement today, IBM said it will launch a "Linux Center of
Competence" at 590 Madison Ave. by September
IBM will spend more than $1 million to assemble the center, which will
offer a full range of support for Linux, including access to IBM
hardware, software and services; technical advice; and Linux training
courses and educational programs.
As part of the strategy, IBM will also use the new store as a meeting
place for the Linux community to hold meetings, discussions and related
events.
The New York Linux Users Group and several other organizations will use
the offices for their home bases, keeping the air filled with Linux user
issues and input.
