IBM are (I believe) making copper technology chips, and have been tipped to superseed Intel in new low-power chip technology. They appear to be following Intels recent interest in Linux in looking for an alternative OS to MS Win*.
I'd argue that this can only be good.
IBM's support for Apache is notable, and I'd say this could be a good example of commercial partnership with the Open Source movement - something I'm all in favour with (given certain caveats).
I'm not old enough to appreciate your concerns over the `Big Blue', but I'm sure they're grounded. However, times change...
Ultimately the Open Source community can only wait and see. The ball is in IBM's court.

Off Topic, but hey: got my first PC & use & know Linux at work. Five days of Win98 are driving me *mad*. Can anyone tell me how to partition my hard drive from Win98 so as I can install RH5.2?
