Changing Face of Linux?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-to-read dept.

standards writes "Reuters is reporting that pony-tailed Linux Users have been seen mingling with executives in short-sleeved golf shirts. The article suggests that real technology guys don't wear shorts, T-shirts or baseball caps." the article is mostly about the business focus of Linux these days, although I think the writer is a couple years late since I think this was really the case about 4 LinuxWorld's ago ;)

    i hope the face of linux is changing. because right now it resembles gerald, the guy who was briefly in my physics program. The breast pocket of his XXL t-shirt (think Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons) was always stretched down a foot, because he kept a 20oz bottle of mountain dew there. What an uberdork. He lasted 2 semesters before transferring to Comp Sci.
