desktoplinux.com — Living in California's Silicon Valley has many benefits, not least of which is exposure to the "next big thing" on a near-daily basis. Yesterday, we discovered that Ubuntu Linux, not content to target first desktops and then servers, is now getting installed on billboards!

@joelitoNah, MySpace requires Flash 9.1337 to be leet. As cool as Ubuntu is, it's still left out in the cold*.*Before anyone chimes in about Wineifying Firefox or running Windows in VMS; I know.

I think it is well designed. The colors match well, it gets the point across very quickly: Ubuntu is a Linux distro that is easy for people to use. The only thing they need it a link. Although, anyone who can install Linux knows how to use Google.

The colors are terrible and the letters are too small. Light brownish-orange doesn't working when someone's bombing down a freeway at 60mph. "Servers and" is totally unreadable due to low contrast. Plus, if someone doesn't know what "Linux" is, why would they care about a version that is for humans?
