Uber Ubuntu on the Berlin Metro

Berlin commuters are treated to this exposure to Ubuntu on the Metro, which is fairly interesting.

The text in the ad reads as follows: “The free OS Ubuntu is available in version 7.04 from April 19th. For more information: http://www.ubuntuusers.de.”

Bearing in mind, of course, that the subject of GNU/Linux advertising on a vehicle that’s significantly faster than the Berlin Metro has been discussed in an earlier blog item. However, this points out that those who say that GNU/Linux isn’t being promoted are somewhat mistaken.

Now if only an increase in market share could come with that . . .
