Re: IBM providing Linux for RS6000

Published reports already say that IBM has been talking to the LinuxPPC guys
for a little while and will likely use their product for a demo an upcoming
trade show.  For IBM, if these guys are producing a good port, why reinvent
the wheel on an OS with little revenue potential? (In IBM's terms of dollars)

Will the fact that IBM is going to be providing it's own version going to
have any effects on the linuxppc development efforts?

If so, will it be positive or negative?
I thought IBM talked to J. Haas about getting LinuxPPC on the IBMs?
