Above is a link to just one of IBM DeveloperWorks shortlist of 600+ articles.
These are well written, sometimes brilliant and most of the times very
interesting.
And yes, they're free to download & read at your leisure.
What many people forget is that Linux in IBM started as an underground
movement, in defiance of the AIX corporate fiat at the time. This was long
before Lou Gerstner decided, when he found out how many informal Linux projects
were ongoing, that it was time to make the counterculture official.
Here's the rest of the stuff, and if anyone else is still under the illusion
that this venerable corporation is devoid of talented, passionate Linuxistas -
please, just try writing something equivalent.

Oh, when did you last check?
Why are the 1st and second most powerful in the top 500 supercomputers
are running linux?
IBM, SUNDIA, IBM again.. wow!
Commercial purposes, and NOT technical purposes. If apple produces
supercomputers and got included at the top 500, I bet they wouldnt use
linux, they will use their flagship MacOSX.
