More kudos for Linux

Sorry about he plug for Mot., but wanted to pass this along.

Tempe, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 6, 2000-- Motorola Computer
Group (MCG), part of Motorola's (NYSE: MOT) Integrated Electronics
Systems Sector (IESS), Monday announced its advanced High
Availability Linux® (HA Linux) offering, strengthening its
position as the leader in high-availability embedded computing
platforms for the telecommunications industry.

MCG's HA Linux -- with hot swap capability and support for system
platforms based on Intel® and PowerPC® architectures -- is the
first Linux offering for carrier-grade networking, wireless and
Internet applications that require 99.999% availability (5NINES).
5NINES availability equates to 5 minutes or less of downtime per
year, both planned and unplanned.

With its very low cost and freely available source code, Linux is
being rapidly adopted as the platform of choice for new
telecommunications applications.

Until now, however, a HA Linux solution for applications that
require near constant uptime -- such as Operation Administration &
Maintenance (OA&M) platforms, call servers, IP gateways,
gatekeepers and home location registers -- was not available. MCG
has recognized this need and filled it with its advanced HA Linux
offering.
