`IBM Australia's Linux boss, Geoff Lawrence, says Linux is now
experiencing widespread adoption. "It really has changed over the
last couple of years. If you talk to any of the larger government
departments, chances are they are looking at Linux," he remarks.
"Pretty well every one [in government] is doing Linux in some
form or another."'
...also...
`Last year, 11 percent of all IBM mainframes shipped globally were
running the open source platform'
