On 10 July 2006, IBM announced a new platform option for IBM Lotus Notes software: Lotus Notes for Linux. Beginning 24 July 2006, Lotus Notes licensees will be able to run Lotus Notes 7.0.1 software on select Linux client operating systems. The option will be available at no additional charge for Lotus Notes licensees on active maintenance.
Lotus Notes for Linux is delivered as Lotus Notes 7.0.1 software packaged with some enabling technology that allows it to run natively on Linux workstations. This additional code is based on virtually the same technology that is the foundation of IBM Workplace Managed Client and will be the foundation for the next major release of Lotus Notes, code-named “Hannover.”
With Lotus Notes for Linux, companies will be able to use Lotus Notes on a Linux workstation in a supported fashion – without using virtualization software like WINE or VMWare, without installing IBM Workplace Managed Client, and without waiting for “Hannover.”
This new option rounds out a complete Lotus Notes and Lotus Domino deployment on Linux – building on Linux support for Lotus Domino server, Lotus Domino Web Access and the Lotus Domino administration client.
