"IBM has increased support for Linux with the introduction of versions 
of its Lotus Notes collaboration suite and Symphony productivity tools 
built to run on the open source OS -- and it's hoping the effort will 
help unseat Microsoft as the king of desktop software.

The company this week said it plans to ship what it calls its "Open 
Collaboration Client," made up of Lotus Notes 8 and Symphony, for 
Canonical's popular Ubuntu Linux distribution.

Lotus Notes 8 includes e-mail, calendaring, and contact management 
modules, while Symphony -- available as a free download -- features word 
processing, spreadsheet, and presentation applications build on the open 
source OpenOffice.org standard.

IBM also said this week that it's working with Red Hat to develop a 
version of the Open Collaboration Client for small and midsize 
businesses, which are increasingly a focus for IBM."
