The IBM Linux Technology Center (LTC) is IBM's organization focused on development for the Linux kernel and related open source software projects. In 1999, IBM created the LTC to combine its software developers interested in Linux and other open source software into a single organization. This helped IBM to ensure that Linux would run on all of the processor architectures used in IBM's servers, including x86, mainframe, Power, and more recently, the Cell Broadband Engine.

Developers in the LTC contribute to over ninety open source projects, with many focusing on growth areas such as Realtime, Serviceability (including Kdump and SystemTap), Virtualization (using the Xen hypervisor), as well as projects focused on enabling Linux to take advantage of new hardware functions on IBM platforms. LTC members also participate in other projects in the open source software community including Linux documentation, test suites and methodology, and software development tools.
