Always Linux when the mission is critical

This is just another great example of Linux powering mission critical systems. I've been having some fun lately, coming up with little tag-lines for my Linux consulting ads. Just added one.... "Linux. It's what runs space stations." |

what other taglines do you have? :-) greetings, eMBee. |

A few others. And please don't give me crap about not calling it GNU/Linux. Trying to make it smooth and palatable for the uninitiated. "You have a choice. Choose Linux." "Elegant, Powerful, Fast & Reliable. It's called 'Linux'." "Make as many copies as you need. It's Linux!" "Escape the walled garden for open pastures. Linux." "Linux. Because nobody owns it, and it doesn't own you." "If you like being surveilled and marketed by an OS you purchased, Linux is not for you." "Bought a new PC? Now, make it your own, with Linux." "Linux. How can something this great be free? Ask us." "Do you believe Apple, Microsoft & Google respect your freedom? Linux does." "Linux is bad for PC repair shops. They rely on frequent repeat business." |

George Clooney would have said : "Linux. What else?" |

"When you just want a famous handsome actor with no credibility as your spokesman, choose George Clooney." |

Or Matt Damon. Mark Wahlberg is already taken. Oh well. |

Who was the last actor that had credibility? John Wayne? Jimmy Stewart? |

> I would like to have seen Don Rickles as the Linux Guy vs the Mac Guy and PC Guy. Wouldn't Rodney Dangerfield be more appropriate? But yes, Rickles was good. |

> Wouldn't Rodney Dangerfield be more appropriate? But yes, Rickles was good. Perhaps, but everyone already knows Linux gets no respect. Linux needs a Don Rickles or Sam Kinison type who will bite back a little more. |

"I don't always use a computer, but when I do, I use Linux" The most interesting man in the world. |

Heh. How apropos to an LXer thread. Jonathan Goldsmith played a red-shirt ensign in "The Corbomite Maneuver." And he survived! Then, at the end of his stint as the Most Interesting Man in the World, he took a one-way trip to Mars. Hey, if he says we're going, I believe him. |
