  • Koppie, on 10/10/2008, -0/+61Just wait until he has a core dump.
  • omgitsmit, on 10/10/2008, -1/+38KERNEL PANIC ERROR!
  • RobotBuddha, on 10/09/2008, -3/+25Nooooo! The first thing any teen does is rebel against their parents strongest values. You'll drive them to osx, or even, dare I say it, Haiku!
  • Kral, on 10/10/2008, -0/+21Teen use of GNU HURD is an epidemic. What can I say America, you were warned that BSD would be a gateway OS and now your kids are running around with all their drivers below ring 0.
  • MikeonTV, on 10/10/2008, -4/+25So all we have to do is show a penguin and its a Linux reference?
  • algaeturd, on 10/10/2008, -2/+20I get it...because he is dressed in a penguin suit he's baby Linux.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2008, -5/+21Why is this on digg? It's just a baby in a penguin costume, there is nothing magical about this.
  • temugen, on 10/10/2008, -0/+14Yes.
  • BoneheadFarker, on 10/10/2008, -0/+13That kid looks mortified. Or he's having a *****. One of the two.
  • egthareal, on 10/10/2008, -3/+15evidently he has heard.... that the bird is indeed the word
  • chawkie, on 10/10/2008, -3/+11It doesn't get much lamer then this...
  • spiki, on 10/10/2008, -1/+7I digg the ./ style comment:
    "I for one, welcome our new penguin-baby overlords."
  • inactive, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6Not if someone links penguins to linux. Then stupid ***** digg it. I could post a photo of dirt, and title it "God says, "make a man out of this", evolutionists" and it'd probably get dugg up a few hundred times.
  • lovely87, on 10/11/2008, -0/+6Just FYI, this is my daughter and NOT a boy. And this was also taken for daddy because of his fascination with Linux. I think it's cute(as any mother would) and this was taken when she was about 3 months old...and she's 7 1/2 months now, so..no, it wasn't for Halloween, it was just something a geeky mom did for her geeky husband.

  • preppeller, on 10/10/2008, -3/+8If you want that picture to represent Linux then Linux looks terrified!
  • montezumamike, on 10/10/2008, -6/+10The future's been bright for how long? Posts like this are as annoying as epic fail posts.
  • oblique63, on 10/10/2008, -2/+6Babybuntu
  • BoneheadFarker, on 10/10/2008, -2/+6Wow...at first I was going to just call you a troll and be done with it. But after looking through your comments, I see that you are very sad and angry little man. Seek help...
  • ethana2, on 10/11/2008, -0/+4How could you wish that on anyone? You make me sick. Buried.

    ...plus the person who took the pic commented on this digg article, and what you said is extremely unlikely.
  • cliffzdude, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3Saying something is a new meme has become the new meme.
  • matt.rubin, on 10/10/2008, -1/+4linux can play all the games windows can. Just osx can't.

    So lets all laugh at Apple users
  • ileftfark, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3While every OS's kernel includes some drivers, the onus is on the hardware manufacturers to provide drivers for their products. Try installing some random piece of hardware on Windows without the disc or a download... pretty much the same thing- some products will work OOB, and some won't. The difference is that manufacturers write drivers for Windows.
  • enoxard, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3this is soo much better than obama fanboy central..

    WELCOME BACK DIGG!!!!
  • bluenile, on 10/10/2008, -2/+5penguin-baby - no need to be scared, windows is doomed
  • rotten777, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3That kid is a badass.
  • MrGiblets, on 10/10/2008, -6/+8Linux ***** itself.
  • GeoffGold25, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3hey thats cute and relatable!
  • montezumamike, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Linux will remain laptop-only for me until gaming makes the jump to Linux. Maybe my kids will be the ones doing that, actually.
  • hafniOum, on 10/11/2008, -1/+3This is probably why I use a console to play games?!
  • dmostrowski, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2Hey Dum Dum, It's latest generation, not newer. That's the problem with this latest generation: They don't know ***** from Shineola
  • inactive, on 10/11/2008, -0/+2OMG that horrible monsterous pengiun has eaten the baby!
  • inactive, on 10/10/2008, -1/+3So, judging by the child's age......2024 the year of linux on the desktop????
  • whahaa, on 10/10/2008, -1/+2the 21st century is the century of linux on the desktop.
  • trogdoor, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1Wow, digg is really staying up to date, it used to take months.
  • inactive, on 10/16/2008, -0/+1genialne suuuper http://www.windows.24marketing.pl
  • chaoswings, on 10/10/2008, -1/+2http://www.penguins.cl/penguin/gentoo-penguins.jpg

    ...and so a new meme begins
  • TheSevenDuffs, on 10/10/2008, -3/+4This is news now?
  • cliffzdude, on 10/11/2008, -2/+3"Yes we had sex! You know what else??!!!? I USE WINDOWS! I HATE you Daddy!"
  • matt.rubin, on 10/10/2008, -4/+5he is not enjoying the Linux experience
  • czeman, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1I love Linux, but I have to agree. It should have been submitted under Odd Stuff.
  • drex8, on 10/10/2008, -2/+3Linux: The Newer Generation
    Starring: Patrick Penguin
  • ChinezePanda, on 10/11/2008, -0/+1Dugg for the rug from Ikea.
  • Icelightning, on 10/11/2008, -0/+1This picture reminds me of a baby picture taken when I was wearing a snowsuit that was too small.

    Same position. Except I couldn't move. And instead of looking mildly upset, I was very, very angry. (So of course, Dad had to take pictures from multiple angles as I glared at him.)

    Cute picture! Thanks for reminding me of my favorite baby photo!
  • NoozeHound, on 10/12/2008, -0/+1Baby is a windows user; 'get me out of this damned penguin.'
  • beaudh, on 10/11/2008, -0/+1I figure it's like your folks record collection really. Some bits you like, some you love and some.. well you wonder how that even got there. Linux, I reckon, they'll love.
  • GOLFSPORT, on 10/11/2008, -0/+1Yes! Do it!
  • Punjabdasher, on 10/11/2008, -1/+21. Buy penguin costume from halloween superstore.
    2. Put costume on your baby whom you probably neglect for the better part of the day.
    3. Take picture and upload to flickr.
    4. ????
    5. PROFIT!
  • jay019, on 10/11/2008, -1/+2Sorry your mum and dad never loved you.
