Early Adopters Prep for New OS/400, iSeries, and Logical Partitions
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

The word on the street is that IBM will be giving early adopters of the forthcoming OS/400 V5R3 and Power5-based Squadron servers access to the new soft and hard wares within a few months. The information I am getting is a bit convoluted, which suggests that some customers are getting OS/400 V5R3 on existing hardware while others are getting it on new Power5-based hardware.

by Timothy Prickett Morgan

When buying a new PC or server, the one thing you don't want to do is install the operating system: It is a messy, time-consuming job.
