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?"

    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.

    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.

    ... 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.
