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:

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!

It seems to grow very quickly.

[Rik]

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