Seeking BSD or Linux Posters?
chadpnet asks: "While making the move from cubicle life to an office I have noticed that my walls are very bare. I went searching for BSD and Linux posters but couldn't find any. IS there not production of these posters or am I looking in the wrong place?"
As good as it gets.
Try looking in thinkgeek's poster section. particularly interesting is the linux kernal map.
I know lots of things. Most of them are wrong.
http://www.thinkgeek.com/cubegoodies/posters/ ... There's only one Linux poster, but it seems kinda neat.
Check out the other posters too, cause they dont ALL have to be about Linux/BSD.
I always thought it'd be pretty cool to put this on a long wall - it's a big unix/unix clone version family tree.

Though you'd have to print it out yourself, of course.
I'm cheap, so I usually hang up some of the funnier ads from the linux mags. "Hello Mr. Gates, I'll be your server today!" from Penguin Computing is pretty cool. The Sun one is kind of neat too, "What Windows has done for your network, the Sun LX50 undoes". Heh.

What do you need pre-printed posters for? Just spool out your favourite man/info pages, grab some electrical tape and...ta da!

Buy OpenBSD posters. It'll support the software too. Go here.

If all you want are penguin pictures, feel free to get them from my site. You can even photoshop "Linux" on them if you want !
Non-Linux Penguins ?
I was actually *in* a line of posters (and magazine ads) for MSC.Linux which were handed out at LinuxWorld a bit over a year ago. You could actually order them online, but unfortunately you can not any longer (to my knowledge). If they have any extra they may send them to you if you ask, though; who knows.
Anyway, they were pictures of me sitting at a computer with various things going on in the background (a house burning down, a karate match, and a...ahem...beauty pagaent). I remained blissfully unaware of anything going on behind me, but just kept hacking. The caption said "Linux...when you're into it, you're into it."
Anyway. I also have a couple of really cool Linux posters I got at the Comdex before last at the Penguin Computing booth - one is Tux holding a Quak3 rocket launcher with the caption "Born To Frag", and the other is a Tux-shaped eclipse with the caption, "A Linux Eclipse of the Sun". They're both framed and very cool - but no place to hang them currently.

I don't post stuff about linux, or *BSD, so you can't stick me to your wall!
Oh... you meant poster as in picture?
I'm not pretty as a picture either, sorry dude!
I could go on, but TBH, I'm too lazy, I'd fall off the wall!

http://www.geekculture.com/geekculturestore/websto re/prints.html is what I meant to type.
I was thinking of picking up one of the linux anatomy charts that my google search picked up, but apparently they're only available at trade shows.
Weeping Jesus on the cross, dude. Go to any shopping mall and find one of those stores that sells posters and paintings. Find a nice landscape that you like. Buy it for a few bucks and hang it on your wall.
It is not necessary for you to eat, sleep, breathe, and stare at computer shit all day long. In your place of work, surround yourself with things unrelated to work. In my office, I used to have a framed 24" x 36" print of a vintage poster from the Egyptian board of tourism, in French. It was great; exotic and soothing at the same time. Whenever I wanted, I could glance up from my monitor and see something completely unrelated to computers in any way. It was like a thirty second micro-vacation. Only thing that kept me sane during the dark days as the company-- a software startup-- was spiraling down the drain.
I write in my journal
We have some leftover posters from this year's Southern California Linux Expo.
If you'd like one, they're available at a more than reasonable price, just ask.
The FSF sells a poster of the preamble of the GPL: https://agia.fsf.org/#posters
... situations like this are why God invented attractive woman, italian sports cars, and the Grand Canyon. For the love of everything good and nice to stare at, please put any of these on your wall instead of a cartoon penguin or devil thingie.
Don't blow it, or somebody might make up a comical poster about the chances of you losing your virginity and put it on their wall.
Don't blow it.

What can I take to put on my hotel room wall that's got pictures of computer related stuff?
There are places where the networks are not touching,and there are places where they are-Boeing's Lori Gunter
Yeah, here's a good start (for BSD, anyway). Gotta love the booth bunnies.
Mod me down and I shall become more trollish than you can possibly imagine!

A classic that is still pretty damn funny...
The opposite of Motivator posters, not exactly Linux or BSD (well except the 'limitations' poster)
:-( they managed to get copyright on them :-)
But here has some realy good stuff. Most geeks (and Disaffected college students) should love them.
Some of my favorites are:
Procrastination
Motivation
Meetings
Consulting
But it is realy hard for me to choose any favorite. Also check out the stuff about fownies
Make your own, the gimp is awesome (though most reading this already know that). There is a lot of cool open source centric artwork out there to use either by itself or as part of your own unique creation. Kinkos can print it up in color for a fairly reasonable price. Viola...
Let me point this out
While making? C'mon!
You can't 'find any'
IS there not?
Do you mean "Is there no", "Isn't there", or what?!
WTF
"While making the move from cubicle life to an office I have noticed that my walls are very bare. I went searching for BSD and Linux posters but couldn't find any. IS there not production of these posters or am I looking in the wrong place?"
I realize that this is your first office. One of the things that is different about office life as compared to the cubicle is posters.
Posters are appropriate for a cubicle. The fact that you are in an office now is supposed to indicate some sort of promotion. Correct?
I'm not saying that you have to be stuffy, far from it. Put when one thinks of an office, one thinks of wood tones, frames, and art.
Oil paintings of nekkid ladies might be a bit much. But I'm sure that you can afford something. Show the world that you are a cut above. Show the world that you're also willing to make the next cut....the executive office.
But do buy the posters you seek. I've looked at what people pointed out here and there are some nice ones. Put some up in your garage at home. Ask some of your friends who still reside in the cubicles to put them up. Show them you haven't forgotten where you came from.
