Talking The problem with Linux
This picture sums it up perfectly.

Few pictures on the internets make me laugh out loud, but this one did.

I dont get it. How does that represent Linux? In all honesty, the PC guy and the Mac guy could both be Linux, as Linux will run on both of them. Those crazy, schizophrenic, dual-boot computers!

I've set it as my desktop because I need to be able to laugh.

Am I the only person who wants to slap the smug Mac guy?

It's the attitude of many (don't read as all) Linux users that this picture portrays.... highly technical and impervious to attack.

I still dont get it. The Linux guy looks like a middle-age, somewhat overweight cos-player.

its a life long dream of mine to slap him or see him slapped , preferably on public television .

the mac commercials make me laugh but definitely don't make me want to buy a mac.

silly Linux tricks are for kids
