| IBM Set-top Chip to Support Linux |
|---|
IBM Wednesday said that that its PowerPC-based set-top box controllers will
support Linux and outlined its next generation of set-top silicon.
Specifically, the company said it will work with MontaVista Software, Inc.
to make that company's Hard Hat Linux operating system compatible with its
set-top box controller. The company said one European vendor, Netgem,
already has plans to develop a new software platform using IBM's
controllers and Linux.
