Open Magazine - Your strategic guide to Open Source 
<http://www.open-mag.com/cgi-bin/opencgi/email/redirect.cgi?Open0708>


This issue marks the 100th issue of Open on the Web. It also marks some 
interesting new beginnings for Linux on Power and Power on open source. 

Linux has a strong affinity for 64-bit power computing. This issue's 
story about bioinformatics describes research endeavors going on at two 
campuses where high-performance computing could turn the tide for 
important medical breakthroughs. It's a classic tale of collaboration spurred 
on by the open source ethic and tangible new knowledge spurred on by 
Linux on 64-bit computers.

Beneath the hoopla of IBM's new push to rock the IT world with Linux on 
its new POWER5 chip is a more radical story. This story is all about 
the second wave of the open source revolution: How to apply the open 
source ethic to new business realms. This time, IBM is rocking the 
semiconductor world by opening Power Architecture to the power of open source.
