Maybe Cincom has already ported Total to Linux. ;-)

San Francisco delivers bill for IBM's Linux ads
By ASHLEE VANCE, IDG NEWS SERVICE
(November 28, 2001)
SAN FRANCISCO -- The city of San Francisco yesterday quashed some of the
warm, fuzzy feelings associated with the Linux operating system when it
reached a settlement with IBM that calls for the vendor to pay $120,000 to
compensate the city for damages caused by a "guerrilla" marketing campaign
centered on Linux.
In April, IBM began spray-painting Linux advertisements on the streets of
San Francisco, New York, Boston and Chicago, hoping to raise interest in the
operating system that battles software from Microsoft Corp. and other
vendors. Although the logos -- a peace symbol, a heart shape and a tubby
penguin -- stirred the public, they also angered city officials.
