- CurtHowland, on 11/01/2007, -15/+298But... a PC is hardware, a Mac is hardware, and Linux is software.
It should be, "I'm OSX. I'm Windows Vista. I'm Linux." - avatarpalin, on 10/12/2007, -12/+244Testify!!
Although the PC guy does talk about putting 'Vista' on his hardware. So they could do a add where he puts Ubuntu on. But I don't think apple would want a script like this
"Hi I'm a Mac"
"and I am a PC!!!!"
"Wha.. Why are you so happy PC?"
"Noooo more Vista, gone! Out of here!!"
"Sooo umm, are you back to XP?"
"Nope, Ubuntu!"
"Err Ban Too?"
"Ubuntu. No surgery, no pain. Just a few questions about my name such and it was all working"
"That's great, soooo what about your work, your photo's, your music?"
"All taken care of! And none of that "Accept or Deny" gumbo either, security without the feeling of your teeth being pulled out"
"Ubuntu?"
"Ubuntu."

- godofpumpkins, on 10/12/2007, -14/+132you just generalized about generalization... are all generalizations bad? ;)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+113ill block your whole subnet you stupid lamers.
I AM ROOT! - cloakeddagger, on 11/14/2007, -26/+133your right, but it should have PC and Mac, and then a linux guy comes in and rapes them to show that he can run on both of them.

(diggmirror didn't catch it) - Djmc, on 10/12/2007, -7/+71out of them three I'd definitely pick linux! How cool is his suit?
- rmerrick, on 10/12/2007, -5/+57@nougat
Only the ones that you're in, sweet cheeks. :) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+53@turpenine
Linux has worked great for me for years, as well as millions of other people. I'm sure somebody would be willing to help you get Linux working properly on your computer :-D - Snarfy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+51So the Windows guy, the Mac guy, and the Linux guy go to the bathroom.
The Windows guy goes, but starts to have a seizure and pisses all over his leg.
The Mac guy goes without pissing on himself, but only because his urinal has an extra funnel device on it so you physically can't piss on yourself.
The Linux guy comes in, pisses in the toilet, and leaves without problems because knows how to use a damn toilet. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+42*Crippled kids roll in on short bus*
"I'm Solaris!"
"I'm OS/2"
"I'm a Banana!" - wandm, on 10/12/2007, -13/+53WHOAA! Where can I download Linux??! This is f**king brilliant!
- TheOther1, on 10/12/2007, -4/+32@ godofpumpkins
Yes, generally speaking. - lunarworks, on 10/12/2007, -11/+39Dugg for accuracy.
- drjekelmrhyde, on 10/12/2007, -10/+36That Linux guy is more creepier than BK's king
- firepunk, on 10/12/2007, -4/+28I'm a PC. I'm a Mac. I'm not allowed out in public.
- playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24Take your time. I wouldn't want you to trip on your way to the bus stop.
- Nogger, on 10/12/2007, -16/+39How about "not cool at all"?
- heffae, on 10/12/2007, -3/+24@avatarpalin
Now that is commercial I would love to see. Thats the best comment I have read all week. - Flummoxer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Or people could be looking at the mirrors...
- JonForTheWin, on 10/12/2007, -4/+21@cliffzdude
I bet this guy would scratch his head if you told him that Linux was a kernel. - typo180, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18The users are real!
- Shananra, on 10/12/2007, -2/+18Aack! a supervillain!
http://www.ubergeek.tv/article.php?pid=54 - freetyme, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17wait, wasn't there an IBM commercial where Linux was that creepy kid who would just absorb information, Linux doesn't talk...it just watches you.
- heffae, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16I recommend every one read Neil Stephenson's http://www.cryptonomicon.com/beginning.html . It's a bit dated now (He was in Love with BeOS) but it has the best analogy of Windows Linux and Mac OS and BeOS.
"Imagine a crossroads where four competing auto dealerships are situated. One of them (Microsoft) is much, much bigger than the others. It started out years ago selling three-speed bicycles (MS-DOS); these were not perfect, but they worked, and when they broke you could easily fix them.
There was a competing bicycle dealership next door (Apple) that one day began selling motorized vehicles--expensive but attractively styled cars with their innards hermetically sealed, so that how they worked was something of a mystery. . . .
Linux, which is right next door, and which is not a business at all. It's a bunch of RVs, yurts, tepees, and geodesic domes set up in a field and organized by consensus. The people who live there are making tanks. . . made of space-age materials and jammed with sophisticated technology from one end to the other. But they are better than Army tanks. They've been modified in such a way that they never, ever break down, are light and maneuverable enough to use on ordinary streets, and use no more fuel than a subcompact car. These tanks are being cranked out, on the spot, at a terrific pace, and a vast number of them are lined up along the edge of the road with keys in the ignition. Anyone who wants can simply climb into one and drive it away for free.
The who thing is a great read especially for linux fans and it's only 70 pages or so. - October, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18You know what it needs? Some sex appeal!
Instead of just "I'm Ubuntu. I'm Fedora... " It could also include "Hi! I'm Debi. These are my girlfriends, Suzy and Mandy. Got root? " ~wink~
/cue Mac and PC guys drooling, speechless. - MeltedUFO, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14That's the best analogy since the "In the beginning there was a command line" book.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14When did cretin become an adjective?
- prurigro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12because he both fits the stereotype and looks hilarious :)
- p014k, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13http://img172.imageshack.us/img172/6959/1157960476967zi8.jpg
- SteveDeGroof, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11I figured Linux would be John Hodgman in a tux.
- omenmedia, on 10/12/2007, -5/+16I'm a PC, I'm a Mac, I'm Linux.... I'M DEAD
- sqrt7744, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I use Mono for .NET programming under Linux all the time. Believe it or not but you can too! Hooray!
- Takuro, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13With all the variants of Linux out there, this joke could drag on for a very long time...
"Hi, I'm Ubuntu"
"Hi, I'm Fedora.."
The list just keeps going and going... - CurtHowland, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10BTW, the one where BSD shows up instead of Linux, and reacts with serious hostility to being told "You look just like Linux", is inspired.
So how about another Linux script? Hmmm...
Vista: Hi, I'm Windows.
OSX: I'm OSX.
Linux: And I'm Linux.
Vista: I feel great! I just got a new suit, I feel so good now I'll call myself Vista.
OSX: Looks like you're running all the same software as before. (starts to put on blue glove) Let's check to see if your security is any better...
Linux: Hmm. Security? Let's see... (Linux takes out a bag of hats, maybe from his backpack, and by putting on different hats completely changes his wardrobe) ...enterprise, office, construction, small business, big business, web service (maybe a french maid's outfit), ah! Here it is, security. (Linux is now dressed in full military battle dress or maybe full Marine dress uniform, you get the idea)
Vista: Hey! I can do that too. ...Just make a choice and have your credit card ready.
OSX: Same here. Hey Linux, how much did that backpack cost?
Linux: Oh, this? This is just the standard included applications, and there are more in here every day. It didn't cost anything. What standard included applications did you come with?
Vista: Solitare. And Notepad.
OSX: (someone who knows can insert something pithy here)
Vista: (Locks up, standard system crash cliche...)
OSX: Well, I guess we have to wait for Windows, again.
Linux: No need. (puts on a stethoscope and is now a doctor, reaches into backpack and pulls out Dr. Barbie or some such) We can run a Linux image can on his hardware easily enough and see if there are any problems.
(Dr. Barbie, live CD, Tux plush toy, whatever, is put on Vista, he turns into Linux with some kind of medical equipment. Beep....beep....etc.)
Vista/Linux: Ah, here it is, data corruption. ...Done. Rebooting...
Vista: Hey! You can't take over my hardware like that!
Linux: Yes I can. I run just fine on your hardware. Same with you, OSX. Linux perfectly well on all PC and Mac hardware. Care for a free Linux boot CD?
(Vista and OSX go running out of the frame in terror)

Anyway, just off the top of my head. Enjoy. - playerslight, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/8318/11579604769673070ed15uz2.jpg
Doh, beaten to the punch by p014k. Leaving it here in case imageshack starts getting cranky with all the hits from digg. - Lord_oftheTrons, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Does that make me the Lord_oftheLinux?

- heffae, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Here is a link to the command line book http://www.cryptonomicon.com/beginning.html it's old now but still a good read.

Cheers.. Thanks for that... ! - BlindIrishman, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9My 10th grade Geometry teacher dated him on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

- wilf_brim, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9The Linux guy (the guy that got made the suit) made the front page a while back. If he represents Linux, you don't want any part of it.
- Megatog615, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Don't forget AmigaOS!
- saintdesy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Where the hell do you get a Tron suit anyway?
- BTime, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Funny enough, I met that guy at a Linux event in Michigan.
