In my family, we almost exclusively run Ubuntu Linux (except my wife, who has a Mac).

My brother, who's probably a little bit snarkier than he should be, made this poster: I lolled!

It's pretty big, be forewarned.

Amusing, but try and emphasize the benfits of using Linux as opposed to slaggin off Microsoft. Microsoft is not the Anti-Christ, nor is it the source of all the evil on the planet. Unlike some VERY well known brands who use child labour throughout the world, Microsoft has a great pension plan, good benefits and treats it's workers on the whole well.

It's products may not be what I want but no need to act as though they are beggining WW3!!

While it may not be the "source of all evil" it still is the "evil source" :)
But I like the design of it. Made me laugh :D

Like I said, it's pretty much more snarky than it should be. We don't talk like this in public :)

I should mention that he made this in Inkscape in about ten minutes.

Oh right, that's pretty good for 10 min's work :)

And I agree with fatality_uk, I'm never one to slag off Microsoft (I'm on Vista right now actually)

I think they make some software that is pretty good, and pretty useful, such as some of the * Live Software.

Just my opinion though, and I still use Ubuntu 99.5% of things :D

I like those.

"Easy to Install, Hard to Kill" was a great tagline, though.

It's a shame it's not hard to kill...no *nix machines are, provided you have admin privileges...
