September 2002, scanned from photocopies made on the 2nd floor of the 
Alexander Library in Northbridge:

   `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'
