Bringing Linux to the Masses
Since this is a Linux advocacy blog, it’s only normal for me to share with you guys my favorite list of Linux commercials. I love these because of the deep messages and meanings behind each of them:
Muhammed Ali and Linux have many things in common, his quick fists and swift feet are akin to Linux’s flexibility and speed. Ali is the greatest boxer in history, and to me, Linux is the greatest OS! Indeed Ali claimed he is the greatest boxer, and he is probably right about Linux also. Watch the great legend promote openness:
I know I know, we all grew bored of these “I am a Mac I am a PC” commercials, but you gotta admit they are quite clever. Here are two from Novell
A strong message, and true in every sense.

Thanks Christian. The first one is great, hence it’s the first
I also love the 3rd one, it builds logically very well…

I like the 3rd one. What’s even nicer is that after it was made, Gartner did accept Linux, so it still fits in…

I’m not sure these were the best ever produced-but either way the IBM ones were pretty good. I too especially like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZmJ63sHoKU .

Red Hat’s “Truth Happens” campaign is pretty cool. (And the source of video #3)

WARNNING…
First they ignore you…Then they laugh at you…
Then they fight you…Then you win…
