Ad for Linux on TV?

While dozing in front of TV I heard a sultry gal's voice say Linux! By the time I grabbed my glasses the ad was over. Darn!! Anybody see the whole ad? I been waiting for 2 hours to see it repeat, was that it? Just one ad?

It's for ITT tech, I think. The one I heard was a guy. He mentions a linux class as part of their network administration course.

I once saw an ad for Red Hat, which surprised me, I didn't know they ran ads on TV.

i think there was ( a long time ago ) a "IBM Linux" ad
a white room with people all in white
and a young kid that said " I am Linux"

Never get tired of watching it, although the one with the penguins flying has become my favorite.

This ad was playing on History Channel a couple nights ago during the "The Milky Way" chapter on "How the Universe was Made". I think I caught the words: "everything easy again, Linux" or something close to that. Just out of habit I naturally tune out the commercials and turn the volume down, close the lids and rest the eyes for 5 minutes. The word "Linux" was the last word said, by the time I could react they were playing the next commercial. Maybe I was just dreaming and the ad never happened.
