IBM Sells Its First iSeries Model 890 Regatta-H Server by Timothy Prickett Morgan It might have the highest price tag of any OS/400 server yet built, but IBM has already sold its first iSeries Model 890 "Regatta-H" server.

The Edge of the Wedge: Where Does Linux on the iSeries Stand? by Dan Burger Dave Boutcher is one of IBM's top people dealing with the development and architecture of Linux on the iSeries.

Before you even think about attempting a change, do your homework and make sure you document the following items. READ MORE >	But Wait, There's More . . .
