Sun Broadens Support for Linux 

http://sun.systemnews.com/system-news/jobdir/submitted/2002.04.all.w2.html#5793

Sun is working on a number of fronts to support and further the work
being done in the Open Source community and on the Linux code base
in particular:

* Sun has released an application development tool, ABIcheck, to the
Open Source community. The tool helps ensure compatibility between
Linux releases.

* Sun will expand its partnerships with the Linux community to provide
native support of Linux on SPARC systems for both the telecommunications
and embedded markets.

* Lineo will adapt and support Lineo's Embedix embedded Linux operating
system on UltraSPARCTM processor-based end user-developed custom hardware.

* Sun will support Linux on its key Sun StorEdgeTM line of storage systems
and software.

* GNOME, the most advanced Linux user environment, will become the 
preferred desktop for Solaris OE when GNOME 2.0 begins shipping later this 
year.
