Thanks. > Saying, "Linux is ready for the desktop," is one thing, but "Linux > is ready for the desktop _and we're using it_" are very different > statements. Note that we do not believe Linux is ready for every user, but it has certainly reached the place where it is good enough for more than just a few niche users. > I'm sure john.lettice at theregister.co.uk would like to hear that > IBM is actually using it on the desktop, together with anything else > you can say, for example, what IBM people are doing that is maybe > newsworthy, is it used in preference to Windows? AIX? etc. Why are we using Linux on the desktop? In many cases because our jobs are very related to Linux (application development, IGS, sales). In other cases because the IBMer wanted to try new technology. If John wants more info, he should just contact IBM Press Relations. Any of the IBM Corporate Linux exec team can give more details.
