Title: Linux AD - What does it mean to be free?
Post by: sam on April 15, 2009, 18:59

The Linux Foundation recently ran a competition to find the best Linux ad to compete against the stupid I'm a MAC, I'm a PC bull s**t (even though modern macs are just the same and a PC isn't an operating system which is what they both imply... )

The winning video was:

but I personally love this one:

http://video.linuxfoundation.org/video/1154

I think it says it all, Linux will save you and get you booty.

Simon you spammer. (https://www.pc-pals.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg16.imageshack.us%2Fimg16%2F7334%2Fspamcnk.gif&hash=a08b10a248a63b14c86d6e0962d7fd1d48b4a04b)

I would rather pay for a halfass operating system with good support then have a great operating system with no support.

The first one wouldn't load last night, but I did watch the second one, yes.  I'm sure it was an out-take from Casualty! ;D

That's what age does for you, less coverage but greater growth. :)
