Q&A: Carol Stafford, IBM worldwide vice president of Linux sales (vnunet)

Vnunet interviews Carol Stafford about her work with IBM and Linux. "How did you first get involved with Linux?
I have been working in Linux and especially Linux on the mainframe since 1997. It was very exciting. I was working with the IBM engineers in Germany and they were running Linux on the mainframe without any operating system underneath it and developing it from there.

This is well worth a read - some good comments about how IBM and its customers are using Linux, e.g. 30,000 Linux desktops at IBM including an entire manufacturing plant + R&D centre, and some entertaining use of 'grid' as a verb, along the lines of 'grid into large computing resources on demand'...
