“With the exception of Tux, the Linux penguin, Linux
fans have a reputation as a rather dour, serious lot. Now, the
Linux Foundation, the non-profit organization dedicated to growing
Linux, has launched a new Linux merchandise store featuring a line
of exclusive and original T-shirts, hats, mugs and other items that
reflect “geek culture.”

“Of course, there’s been geek culture t-shirts and such for sale
before. ThinkGeek has long been a favorite of mine for buying
presents for friends who enjoy t-shirts with Wi-Fi detectors on
them and the like. But the Linux Foundation store, rather than just
trying to copycat ThinkGeek’s lines or just offer generic corporate
“logo T’s,” is trying their own take on geek pride clothes and
gear.”
