If they do, it is very well hidden. I've looked all over their site, and the
only things I can find are pointers to Redhat, TurboLinux (their distribution
isn't available outside Japan and China), and Suse.
Even when you go in to configure new systems with Linux, they tell you it's
available separately, e.g. from Suse for $1100 more. Yikes!
If someone can point out the locatoin on the IBM site, I'll be very happy. :)
