[ltp] OT: Opera -Linux and IBM Rescue

[JP Renaud]

There is an interesting interview [1] with Opera Software CEO and 
co-founder Jon S. von Tetzchner on linuxdevices.com.
He speaks (very briefly [2]) about IBM rescue as one of their "most 
exciting successes".

[2] relevant extract from the interview:

Q21. Can you share one or two of your companies most exciting successes?

A21. 

[snip ...]
Another product I'm proud of is IBM ThinkPads. If you have a technical 
problem and Windows won't start, there's a rescue system. That rescue 
system is running Linux and Opera. I'm kind of proud of that; if 
Microsoft fails, you have a rescue system with Linux and Opera. 

Q21b. Is pre-boot rescue a growing market focus for Opera? 

A21b. It's basically something that IBM wanted to do... it's important 
that you provide good systems if there are problems, and Opera is a 
good choice there because we have an embedded browser that gives you a 
lot of flexibility, and works "light."
