[Cross posted to Linux390 and VMESA-L lists]. IBM released the following press release late yesterday afternoon. I think the community here might find it of interest: http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/020814/045483.htm
The paragraph that I especially noticed, having used IBM customer (external) forums for years now, is: Internal IBM Forums IBM runs its internal community collaboration systems using Linux on VM on an IBM eServer zSeries to provide service to more than 300,000 IBM employees worldwide. Collaboration is provided using forums, or newsgroups, to allow IBM employees worldwide to discuss hundreds of different technical and business topics. These forums provide a way to host written discussions on any relevant topic, and new content is appended to each forum as users contribute. The forums are open to all IBM employees across the company. The mainframe running Linux is integrated into IBM's single Intranet solution called w3.ibm.com. This award-winning portal for IBM employees has over 17 million hits per day. The forums have over 15,000 new posts every month and provide a valuable source of information on 800 different topics.
