How well has Linux been supporting IBM's POWER processors? I would
imagine pretty well, since the Linux community always seems eager to run
on new hardware.
Could it be that the Linux community hasn't been quick enough in
accepting IBM's contributions to Linux to support POWER, so IBM decided
to buy the largest member of the community to fix that?
Or, could it be that IBM didn't have enough Linux expertise in-house to
support POWER on Linux, so they decided to buy a lot of expertise?
What do you think?

Hi all,
it is not only that, but I saw something about Mellanox today as well.
Not good news in my humble opinion. :-(
All the best

I wonder where that places us in the not too distant future..
I've worked for Big Blue, and I'm not sure the company cultures are
compatible to say the least.
