Looking for Linux TV Commercial...

Whitehat · 05-03-2003, 09:01 AM

Hey all,

I just wondered if any of you have seen ( and know where I can download ) the IBM linux commercial where they've replaced all the servers in the server room with one server and the IT guy is walking away from it eating a doughnut?

I have a cool one about Linus Torvalds and IBM, but I saw that commercial one or two times and would like it for some guys at work

Thanks...

It used to be here:

It's not anymore, but his email address is. Maybe he can point you in the right direction.

I like the whole IBM "basketball series" of TV commercials.

"So what does the new player want?"
"Nothing"
"

How's that?!"
"He likes the game"

i dont get to see the advertisements in england

id love to see Linux hitting the screens though. Linux is still capturing the server market at a massive rate, im really beginning to believe now that Linux will be what conquers Microsoft.

quite interesting really, because without M$ Linux would never have existed. Had the market been spread people would have probably continued to buy proprietery software, Linux probably only exists because of microsofts dominance. Had it been possible for another company to rival microsoft, there would have been little need for a totally free OS

this is also like dune. the part where the dude bonds with the worms and lives for thousands of years putting the galaxy under strict dictator like control. but he does this so that the next step in evolution will occur through the people struggling against him. yeah, its like that.
