I can't agree with this enough. The last time this topic came up, I
pointed out that IBM deserves a LOT of credit for making Linux
well-known amongst the general population. They invested heavily in
Linux, and ran a whole advertising campaign about Linux. Sure, that was
almost 20 years ago, but I am still inclined believe IBM get's Linux
better than most other companies that target the enterprise market.
Here's a few example IBM Linux commercials from that period:

And don't forget the smackdown they gave SCO when
they tried to lay claim to Linux
