One of the people running that project said so at the Novell Linux seminar. A little Googling finds: http://www.infoworld.com/article/03/11/10/HNdesktopwalk_1.html "IBM Corp.'s Global Services team is getting behind Linux on the desktop, starting within IBM itself, according to Sam Docknevich, Linux and grid services executive for IBM. About 14,000 IBM employees use Linux desktops at the present time, and that number will grow to about 50,000 or 60,000 by next year, he estimated." You need a NY Times subscription to read the full article but: http://www.linux.org/news/2003/11/11/0004.html ...I.B.M. executive, Samuel J. Docknevich, delivered a speech at a technology conference outside Boston titled "The Time Is Now for Linux on the Desktop." Maybe this is all bullsh, um marketing? Time will tell. -- Eric (Rick) Meyerhoff _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
