I mailed someone at IBM Worldwide when this first came out, as we sell a lot of IDS on Linux. I thought it was Cindy Fung but I can't find the reply now, so perhaps it wasn't. In particular I wanted to know whether this would be a truly packaged bundle, or if it would just have promotional pricing for IDS sold with SuSE. At that the time the details had yet to be worked out and I have to say that I've seen nothing since. So we've carried on selling RedHat. If someone from IBM is reading and can tell us what happened to this initiative it would be great, thanks.
