Voluntary Sponsorship of Linux?

Posted by Cliff on from the pushing-penguins dept.

shift8key asks: "Last year, a friend asked me whether I would sponsor his NASCAR race car. The sponsorship came cheap and I decided to do it. Since I did not have a commercial message for my business, I had him put 'Linux.org' and a penguin on the hood. He had more inquiries about it than any other message on his car. My community phonebook called me to ask if I would repeat the message there, and I think I will do it. Have any Slashdot readers ever done any voluntary sponsorship of Linux? If so, what experiences did you have?"

    I love the fact that you are advertising Linux in a NASCAR race. What are you expecting an dumb redneck with missing teeth to do with Linux? Next you will introduce Linux to the elders?

    Linux is dead in the water, guys. Get over it and move on.
