If your readers get a daily paper, they may want to check out
today’s Fox Trot comic, which mentions Linux.

The dialogue basically goes like this:


Frame 1
Marcus: This manual brags that the iFruit can be out of the box and
on the Internet in as little as 10 minutes.

Frame 2
Marcus: That has to be a typo.
Jason: It is hard to believe

Frame 1
Marcus: We set up that Linux server at camp in what, 30
seconds?
Jason: Only because you tangled the cables, Mr. Slowpoke.


It’s nice to see Linux being mentioned in places like this!

Regards,
Dan
