Hi,

10 offbeat, odd, and downright weird places you'll find Linux

Quote:

The OS that took over the world
Let's just get this out of the way: this isn't the year of Linux on the desktop. That year will probably never arrive. But Linux has gotten just about everywhere else, and the Linux community can take a bow for making that happen. Android, based on the Linux kernel, is so prevalent on mobile devices that it makes the longstanding desktop quest seem irrelevant. But beyond Android there are a number of places where you can find Linux that are truly odd and intriguing, and by "places" we mean both strange devices and weird geographical locations. This slideshow will show you that it's always the year of Linux pretty much everywhere.

Be sure to look at the other Slideshows.
Have fun & enjoy!

Well, except for the dead badger . . .

I wondered what that 'badger' was supposed to be, as it didn't look like a 'badger' to me.
Turns out its a Ratel (honey badger) as opposed to http://animalsadda.com/badger/ which also has claws and teeth, but not quite on the same scale

You still don't want to try grabbing either of them without serious protection though

Not to mention Tuz - them too has teeth and claws.

What's the story of Linus being chased by an angry penguin?

These are all w-i-l-d animals, folks. All kidding aside, don't touch a wild animal ... or even a cornered house-cat.
