- sparkmonkeyz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+31The Foxtrot ones were hilarious.

Give credit to the author, would ya? He's got ton of good comics. - ne0n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14ZOMG, I love foxtrot. Too bad the guy retired. My favorite was the one when jason drops popcorn on the keyboard and the computer shouts "Kernel panic!".
- Hindu_Wardrobe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I've that one cut out and on my wall.
But note that he didn't retire, but is only doing comics on Sundays, as opposed to every day. :) - magnusbe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10The guy giving the advice is the brother of Mads Eriksen, a cartoonist that draws a series about himself. Mads is a geek, but not that into computers, but his brother is a Linux-guy. In other strips his brother berates Mads for not using Linux.
So, the translation:
"Ida, Tjøme: How do I get rid of, like, adware?"
Excorcize Windows with a cross, garlic and holy water. ...install Linux. Next!
Gøran, Ytteren: can you remove XPSP2?
Fill the cabinet with diesel and hammer it with heavy equipment [not a literal translation]. ....install Linux. Next!
Einar, Mo: Which Linux-distribution do you recommend?
Gentoo for you and Ubunto for your grandmother. Hahaha!
Peder, Halsa: How do you get rid of Trojans?
Rub them with bacon and dig them down in the garden at midnight. ....or install Linux. That's all for now. - b166er01, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8what about penny arcade's comics about linux?

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/1999/03/05 - daRoach, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11"Will it blend?" is quickly becoming this year's "FOOTBALL IN THE GROIN!!"
- unlimitedorb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Reading the comics/funnies are always a great way to spend your time, but couple that with linux tid-bits? What else could you ask for.
- prammy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5lol fanboyism exists on all sides. Linux fanboys, BSD fanboys, OS X fanboys and even Windows fanboys.
I wonder what happened to all the BeOS fanboys =( - JernejL, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4have no fear about the dryer, somebody else got it on camera:

- ne0n, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4But that was my reason to wake up in the morning! And I'm not getting out of bed early on Sundays. =/
- mindsnare, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3One of my favourite references is the end of waynes world with the garth chick.
Garth: You Gotta Unix Book
Chick: shyeah
Garth: kewl - Dark_Ice, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4I know a few BSD guys who would kill anyone considering Linux to be a viable option to Windows when clearly BSD is the only true way to go. Saying Linux Cartoons and including UNIX would to them be a death sin, lets just call them extremist.
- treas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3http://xkcd.com/store/
You can buy it right there. - Teaboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Nemi is in the Metro too! http://www.metro.co.uk
She's hot for a cartoon. - cynicist, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Can anyone translate the second norwegian one?
- screamokid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1FOOTBALL IN THE GROIN!!
am i the only one saying "WTF does that mean?" - PhireN, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm so tired I didn't realize the first Norwegian cartoon wasn't English in till i read the description. I think i just guessed what it was saying without realizing it. But no luck on the second one.
- Ademan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Heh, If linux is for geeks, wtf is BSD for?
- treas, on 10/12/2007, -7/+8http://elliottback.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/sandwich.png
That one's missing! - CalabiYau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It makes a directory only readable by you. I suppose he's only trying to ward away witches, but he's going to be totally SCREWED when he tries to write config files to his underpants.
- Brightside, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wayne's World 2
but ya, i love the part too. - IzeasGT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not in the least surprised at how many Fox Trot had. Although, I forget - what's "CHMOD 700 *"? I know he explained it on his personal home page once...
- crazybrit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And the Dilbert ones were pretty funny; Doonesbury made me want to break something. He obviously has no idea what he's talking about...
- greyfade, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1There's a brand of laundry detergent called "Linux" as well.
http://flickr.com/photos/keylime/11919058/ - spiffytech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I saw that image on a shirt once. I'd like to get that shirt!
- PhilippHD, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Abosulutely priceless !!!
Thank you very much. - darkchild, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This is absolutely fabulous. Thanks for sharing the link.
- t3hX, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1There's also this one: http://joyoftech.com/joyoftech/joyarchives/001.html - first Joy Of Tech ever...
Oh, and this one: http://joyoftech.com/joyoftech/joyarchives/012.html
edit again: And the one after that: http://joyoftech.com/joyoftech/joyarchives/013.html - PhireN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1That link doesn't work, you will have to copy and paste it.
- MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -4/+2screw mainstream.
webcomics > print - treas, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Oh I know he does, I've read every single one. I just didnt feel like looking through each one, as I forgot he had an archive.
- magnusbe, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1The strip M should interest the geeks. Today's strip is about the cartoonist being hassled by a seller of mobile phone plans:

The text is not so important as the cideo game reference. - Dumbledorito, on 10/12/2007, -6/+0I'd hardly call this handful of appearances "making Linux visible." Most were from 2001 or before.
I'll just wait for this comment to get dugg down now. :) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -20/+4I'd love to see them do this for OS X !
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -34/+2but will it blend?
