German "Linux Hotel" has Tux in Every Bed

Posted by Roblimo on from the sleep-tight-don't-let-the-penguins-bite dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "I just found this funny idea: A Linux Hotel in Essen, Germany. They give seminars, courses and workshops on Linux, some of them free. And Tux is in every bed, as seen here. Sorry, it is in german, but there are also english pages."

    Now I know where I want to go on a vacation...of course, Essen isn't exactly one of the major German tourist destinations. (I seem to recall it's primarily an industrial city...someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

    Not to mention, I'd probably have to spend a few weeks with some Berlitz tapes beforehand to get my German back up to speed...and then spend more time reading c't or some other German computer news site so my technical vocabulary would be up to par. (I had three years of German in high school...I could read some of that page, but not all of it.)

    (Erbo turns away from the computer for a moment and calls out to his fiancee) Sweetie? Wanna go to Germany for a honeymoon? :-)

  2. Yeah! stuffed penguins! by Juln · · Score: 2

    Hey, this is nice - you can use a laptop with Linux during your stay. Also available are reading materials concerning free software in addition to glossy magazines! Also they have " bath or whirlpool, either with view of the park or the old garden. Mini-bar, large color TV, fax machine, modem plug, Treca beds, ... and much more."
    In addition to stuffed penguins!! I had a lovely stuffed penguin as a child. In fact, i still have her! Mine was a good deal slimmer though.
