Linux video
I remember attending the very first Linux conference in 2000. It was held in San Jose and was so popular that they decided to move it to San Francisco the following year. I also remember, the following year, when IBM showed up to the Moscone Center with their astronauts from the future. The IBM-ers were all clustered together near their astronauts. They had on their IBM suits, complete, I would imagine, with IBM sock suspenders; or whatever it is they call those things. We huddled around the men in suits as if they were from another planet. Quiet frankly, they seemed more out of place then their astronaut mascots. Perhaps the mascots were an attempt to draw attention from their own outfits. Still, the Linux community is an accepting crowd and we welcomed them with open arms (though we kept an eye on our wallets). So it's strange to me to see commercials for Linux (I must have missed this one at the time) from the company that couldn't be more different from the community that gave birth to it. But maybe that's what Linux is all about, bridging these two communities together.
