The ones found in the article here. The article itself is a light read, but on the youtube bits theres a few of these adverts. The last one gave me a chuckle :)

yeah I remember these when they were new. This was the first big mass-media/market hype about Linux.

Wonder how Big Blue's doing with that business model now?
