Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** Although they don't mention OS/2 specifically, and instead say it allows the customer to install any version of Linux that they like, IBM has said that they plan on selling laptops without any operating system installed: http://www.crn.com/sections/news/news.asp?ArticleID=4086 "'We plan to ship a base machine without any operating system on it so you could load any form of Linux you want,' [Phil Hester, chief technology officer for IBM's Personal Systems Group] said." Laptops that are Linux compatible are very likely to be OS/2 compatible as well. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To subscribe, unsubscribe, or for more information on WarpCast, visit: http://www.warpcast.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------
