The following is quote from the article at:

http://news.cnet.com/news/0-1003-200-6006251.html?tag=mn_hd

"IBM says it will offer ... free access to one of the computing giant's powerful mainframe sytems ... for access by people interested in working with the Linux operating system. The mainframe has been set up to give people "virtual servers," allowing them to log in, explore Linux features and test heavy-duty applications designed to run on Linux"
