I think that this is probably the greatest contribution that IBM has given
back to the Linux Community.  Regularly you see quite well done TV
commercials that connect the name that means computers to may people with
Linux.  I think that will over time build the credibility of Linux to many
folks.

I understand that they have just released a new one in the states about the
incredible 9 year old who is taught by a lot of people a diverse range of
subjects.  His name in Linux.
