Fun with Linux art

I came across a Linux poster that made me laugh. It sent me researching other illustrations of Linux humor and the result is this slideshow.

10 great illustrations of Linux humor

As the great sci-fi novelist Robert A. Heinlein once said, "One man's theology is another man's belly laugh." It is this spirit that inspires many of the artists of the House of Linux (and by extension, the House of Open Source). They poke fun at others and each other. This selection came from Linux wallpaper, posters and other illustrations.
