[luau] re: Linux Commercials

[maddog]

I too have seen the commercials and was just discussing with my wife what a
great opportunity this is creating, especially with the reports of the
economy picking up. There will be more $$$$$ for companies to spend on IT
and it would seem that Linux will be a good sized chunk of that. Not many MS
commercials during the same time and IBM is the "Official" infrastructure
provider of the national football league. Should be huge during the
Superbowl.
