Unlike Chrome, litlOS is focused on creating a new and better web experience for the home, so we don't have the usual browser interface, we have our own innovative UI.

Novell and Red Hat Join IBM Open Source Strategic Alliance Program
Streamlines Process for Linux-Based Systems and Software

"IBM made a big commitment to our customers and our open source strategy when we told the world we were making a substantial investment in Linux nearly six years ago. That included partnering with Red Hat and Novell," said Mark Elliott, general manager, Global Solution Sales, IBM Sales and Distribution. "Our customers responded with incredible enthusiasm and today IBM's Linux business is growing faster than the industry. And that growth is propelling Novell and Red Hat to the top tier of IBM's strategic alliance partners."

IBM also says it now ranks number one in overall Linux-based server revenue worldwide with 29.7 percent of the revenue, up 32 percent year-to-year, according to Gartner, an industry research firm.
One- and three-year Linux server subscriptions will be available on IBM server hardware, or with IBM middleware, and IBM Services' SupportLine offerings, providing support for the Linux operating system running on both IBM and non-IBM server hardware.

The new subscription model is aimed at benefiting IBM's large enterprise and small and medium business (SMB) clients desiring to purchase operating system subscriptions and support as part of a more comprehensive industry-specific solution from IBM.

Under the terms of the Strategic Alliance agreement, Novell has agreed to distribute the Apache Geronimo open source J2EE application server as part of its SUSE Linux Enterprise Server distribution, which contains more than 1,400 open source software packages. Novell currently includes the Apache Derby database in SUSE Linux 10.0.

The recently announced inclusion of Red Hat and Novell in IBM's Strategic Alliance program opens significant new channels and access to IBM innovation centers to the two companies, according to IBM, including those in emerging countries like Brazil, Russia, India, China and Korea to drive more open source deals in those booming markets.
