The long road of linux

I was walking down 42nd street in Manhattan NYC between 8th and 7th avenues when I came across this giant billboard asking the question:

Having been in and out of Linux for the last 15 years or so, I never thought I would see Linux become so prominent in the public eye and general public consciousness, especially on such a main thoroughfare of the world. Who would've thought?

I saw the same exact billboard on the NJ/PA Turnpike coming into PA. I honestly thought the same exact thing.....

Destiny? No such thing.... The world is forcing linux upon its users, and that's how it should be. (Tron reference, anyone?

Those ads are all over the US ... even in Silicon Valley ... and I have no idea what they are looking for. (Nor am I particularly inclined to find out... sounds like a cattle-call for a sweat shop to me.)
