You've been speaking to the Global Services (consulting side) people. I don't doubt that IBM would love to engage with Gentoo for SERVICES (ie manage your server, or develop a protien folding cluster and install it for you). However, you will not see IBM preloading, or releasing kernel modules for gentoo-sources. I'm not trying to be a roadblock here, infact I know many of the people in the Open Source Community of Practice at IBM, so please let me know where you would like this to go. - -- Omkhar Arasaratnam - Gentoo PPC64 Developer omkhar@gentoo.org - http://dev.gentoo.org/~omkhar Gentoo Linux / PPC64 Linux: http://ppc64.gentoo.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) iD8DBQFCeNwL9msUWjh2lHURAqd5AJwN2/kWNj3+OKmEjkTTzwwtfuJx0QCeN0s7 xh+VcqAc4HcOf27dZm7vxWk= =k7vh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
