    Linux Ads, do you remember them?

    In lieu of: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270675

    So I brought up a short list: http://coldreactive.deviantart.com/journal/27301672/

    And I was surprised that I actually recognised most of the IBM ads for linux.

    I wish I was cool (old) enough to remember linux adds, but sadly I was born into the microsoft and mac generation.
    These days, my computers change so much, all I can say for sure here is ubuntu.

    I started using computers with DOS/Windows 3.11, no idea what Linux was at the time. So no, not cool enough to remember those ads.

    Yet my school made us learn how to use Acorn computers... I have no idea what was up with that.
