5 Linux Commercials I Like

Published on August 5, 2008 in General, Humor by Rami Taibah

Since this is a Linux advocacy blog, it’s only normal for me to share with you guys my favorite list of Linux commercials. I love these because of the deep messages and meanings behind each of them:

1-Float Like A Butterfly

Muhammed Ali and Linux have many things in common, his quick fists and swift feet are akin to Linux‘s flexibility and speed. Ali is the greatest boxer in history, and to me, Linux is the greatest OS! Indeed Ali claimed he is the greatest boxer, and he is probably right about Linux also. Watch the great legend promote openness:

2-Novell Knows Spoofing

I know I know, we all grew bored of these “I am a Mac I am a PC” commercials, but you gotta admit they are quite clever. Here are two from Novell

3-Then Linux Wins

A strong message, and true in every sense.

4-IBM: The New Allie

5-The Boy Has Been Adopted

    Thanks Christian. The first one is great, hence it’s the first ;)

    I also love the 3rd one, it builds logically very well…

    Dude, there’s some problem with ur rss engine? now and then I get all the read stuff marked as unread on my netvibes :S

    I like the 3rd one. What’s even nicer is that after it was made, Gartner did accept Linux, so it still fits in…

    I’m not sure these were the best ever produced-but either way the IBM ones were pretty good. I too especially like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZmJ63sHoKU .

    Since this is a Linux advocacy blog, it’s only normal for me to share with you guys my favorite list of Linux commercials. I love these because of the deep messages and meanings behind each of them:…

  • Lucélio Gomes de Freitas(Brasil)

    WARNNING…
    First they ignore you…Then they laugh at you…
    Then they fight you…Then you win…
    what comes next? The answer was written 2000 years ago.
    MT 22:39 & 1CO 13:8-10
    Even now, the same happens again, some leaders didn´t learn…Cooperation is much more strong than Competition.

    I like the linux commercial, if only it wasn’t made by Red Hat *shivers*.
