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:
