On the other hand, IBM sells a load of "Linux only" mainframes these
days, most of which come with a z/VM license. ;
It is not beyond reason that half of the MIPS out there are "Linux"
MIPS. IFL's are generally faster and cheaper too.
Why would you think otherwise?

David Boyes of Sine Nomine Associates is quoted.
I doubt it. As was mentioned in one of the comments, the figures
most people have heard from IBM have been in the 20% range. The
fact that the author claims Sine Nomine was "the company responsible
for porting Linux to Big Iron ten years ago" doesn't inspire a lot
of confidence either. (As much as I respect and admire all the
people who participated in Bigfoot, it wasn't an SNA project, since
SNA didn't even exist at the time.)
