IBM doesn't give out a lot of numbers, but they do like to sprinkle some about. They say that 80 of their top 100 mainframe customers are running Linux on the mainframe. Sales of IFLs have increased every year since they were introduced. A lot of that is to existing customers, but not all. They talk about "new to the mainframe" customers each year, and a lot of those (but not all) run Linux. My company has over 1,000 Linux on mainframe customers, including two of the largest in the world. IBM itself is also quite a large customer, and not just due to their "Project Green" consolidation efforts. I know that Isracard has been a Red Hat customer for quite a while now. Last I heard, they were pretty happy with the overall results. Is there any specific reason why you're asking?
