Introduction to Linux on IBM systems

With IBM® systems and Linux® open software, you can choose the best hardware for your workloads while controlling software costs.

Linux is a highly-rated operating system providing flexibility, stability, and low total cost of ownership. Because Linux is an open source development project, it is constantly improved by community innovation. IBM supports Linux as a long-term strategic platform. IBM participates in the Linux community through the Linux Technology Center (LTC).

Linux is certified on all IBM systems, including Power Systems, System x, Z and LinuxONE, so that you can choose the hardware that makes the most sense for your business.
