And since my interaction over the past 48 hours has been via wireless laptop to my broadband connection at home, I’m expecting even better results when I am hard-wired to the University’s network from my office.

"These are people who need tools now but don't get them," Driver said.

Notes on Linux, plus a free set of editors planned for the Hannover release of Notes are small steps in that effort, with underserved IT workers on the shop floor in retail and manufacturing a good first audience, Driver said. While IBM doesn't expect to see a major shift to using Notes on Linux, it has around 5,000 employees using it internally, Fontaine said. It is also a small victory in the bigger goal of unseating Microsoft's dominance in the enterprise collaboration market.īy throwing its weight behind Linux, and weaning its own workers off Windows and Microsoft wares, IBM is hoping to promote enterprise alternatives to Windows and Office, with the ultimate goal of creating a robust alternative to them for companies, said Driver. Notes on Linux helps solve the "chicken and egg" problem with Linux adoption in the enterprise, said Erica Driver, an analyst at Forrester Research in Cambridge, Mass., which counts IBM as a customer. In addition to the Notes Hannover release, Sametime and clients for the Rational, WebSphere and DB2 product lines will be ported to Linux by way of Eclipse, he said. IBM plans to use the same approach in moving other client software. "What it allows you to do as an ISV is write something on top of (RCP) and get cross-operating system capability for free," he said. By using the Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP), a kind of client-side middleware, IBM was able to abstract Notes from the underlying OS, writing to the RCP, and then relying on it to hook into and manage interaction with the OS. The advent of the Eclipse open source development platform changed the equation.

IBM has offered Windows and Mac versions of Notes for years, but balked at making a Linux version because of the relatively low demand for it and the considerable cost and complexity of porting the Notes code to a different operating system, he said.

Those differences should disappear with the arrival of Hannover in 2007, he said. And the Notes version released Monday will not allow users to access the Lotus Sametime IM client from within the Notes client environment, Fontaine said. For example, the Linux version will not offer the same kinds of shortcut bars that are available on the Windows and Mac version. While Notes on Linux has all the same features as the Windows and Mac versions, there are subtle differences, at least for now.

Other Linux distributions should be able to run the new Notes client, but IBM is only offering support to licensed customers on Red Hat and Suse, he said.

Support for Linux on the desktop has been planned for the next major release of Notes, dubbed "Hannover." However, the company decided to release Notes on Linux before Hannover was complete to provide fuel to what the company sees as a growing Linux application development market, and another incentive for Notes customers who may be contemplating a shift to Linux on the desktop, he said.
