*** Linux in software alliance with IBM

NEW YORK (AP) - A popular IBM program for network databases will be
sold with a Linux operating system in a deal giving the upstart
software company added legitimacy in a market dominated by
Microsoft's Windows NT. The agreement to bundle TurboLinux and IBM's
best-selling DB2 Universal Database program was announced Monday by
Pacific HiTech, one of many small companies selling a version of
Linux. The companies also agreed to collaborate on making future
editions of IBM server software, often referred to as "middleware,"
and TurboLinux work together more smoothly. For now, Linux poses only
a marginal threat to Windows NT as the No. 1 software platform for
the servers that run computer networks. See
