Linux Prodigy

Posted on December 9th, 2009 at 0:34, in Linux.

Starting today I will try to show on my blog an interesting IT ad every week. For the first video, I’ve chosen an extraordinary Linux ad made for IBM back in 2003 by Ogilvy & Mather. The only word that comes through my mind is impressive!

Some of the “actors” and their words:

John Wooden (former UCLA Bruins basketball coach): “A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group for the good of the group, that’s teamwork.”

Henry Lewis Gates (professor at Harvard): “Collecting data is only the first step toward wisdom, but sharing data is the first step toward community.”

Sylvia Nasar (author of “A Beautiful Mind”): “One little thing can solve an incredibly complex problem.”

Penny Marshall (actress, director): “Everything’s about timing, kid.”

Muhammad Ali (boxing legend): “Speak your mind. Don’t back down.”

Linux is the shit!

Think you've got something to say?

For leaving comments including source code or terminal output, please use the the following tags like in the next example: 

[language]

[/language]
where you substitute language with the programming laguage used throught the code example (for terminal output that would be bash), e.g: 
[bash]
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
[/bash]

To see a list of all the supported languages, please check this page.

If you want to include code bits inline, please use the code tags like in the following example: 

The <code>$USER</code> variable holds the current logged in username.
