The IBM Linux Handbook provides an overview of IBM Linux solutions, platform support, and resources for implementing Linux on IBM servers.
This Redbook introduces Linux fundamentals and explains IBM's commitment to Linux across its server families. It covers the basics of Linux, open‑source software, and how Linux integrates with IBM hardware and other operating systems.
The guide then details Linux support on IBM zSeries, xSeries, pSeries, and iSeries platforms, describes IBM software offerings such as WebSphere, DB2, Tivoli, and Lotus, and explores clustering, services, and desktop Linux options for enterprise environments.
