Hello....
Who would be interested in a Black/White Short/Long T-Shirt, with the
'Linux Inside' logo, printed in Red. A large one accross the back, and
one small badge sized on the top left corner on the front. :)
If anyone is, then mail me.. I'm just seeing if it is worth looking into
the idea. :)
Thank you.

Just as an aside, if you look carefully at the Linux Inside Logo, on the
inside part of the loop, you can see some white pixels, in the solid area.
This came from the (R) registered trademark from intel....

Have a look at a 'intel inside' logo for what I mean..

Be careful... You might be opening yourself to something *...

Just worried my a bit...

Agreed, especially if you ripped off the logo. I think it'd be cool to have
a logo, and also a shirt, but even if the logo wasn't ripped off, I would still
object to the lack of creativity in the slogan...

Perhaps this thread should turn into an idea swap/voting on an apt slogan!
(Sorry! I can't think of one right yet!)

I like a Linux slogan I saw in someone's signature:

Linux: the choice of a Gnu generation

It's still a parody of someone else's slogan, but it has a pun, and it
also says a little bit more about Linux than just "it's inside something".

It could probably be defended as Fair Use by claiming that it's a
parody. It works in music. It's quite clearly a take-off on the
Intel slogan, and I like it as such. It's not like Linux competes
against Intel. Quite the contrary, it promotes the use of the Intel
archetecture.

Then again, Intel prolly has lawyers sitting around waiting for
something to do. The T-shirt designer would have to hire one (or more)
to defend himself, even if he was eventually ruled to be allowed to
use the slogan. It'd cost far more than the shirts would ever bring in.

Justice for money, how much more can you pay?
We all know it's the American way.

Personally, I hope Intel never notices.

Note that this didn't help Delrina and Berke Breathed in the silly case
brought by those unpleasant Berkeley Systems people about the penguin
shooting down their flying toasters (originally ripped off from the cover of
30 seconds over Winterland).

Fat chance.

Could the author of this thread give some hints on the possible price of
the famous Linux T-Shirts ? (not including "Intel Inside" licensing fee -) )

And yes : Linux is definitly the choice of a GNU generation ! So why not
print 2 or 3 versions of our Linux Guerilla/Propaganda T-Shirts... ?

Hello David and all...
InfoMagic is selling Linux T-shirts right now! In stock.
They have the "Gerrilla UNIX Development" and "Venimus, Vidimus
Dolavimus" (We came, We saw, We hacked.) on the back along with
the platypus logo on the front. There'll probably be a more complete
posting coming soon, but for now just call 1.800.800.6613 for more
information.

I dunno. 'patch47', the last kernel diff was 1860 lines long. You'll
need a very small font. :)

Hmmm, how about a list of all (or lots of) the packages available for Linux
printed on the back?

Dear All,
I know Linux comes with the program ghostscript, which deals with
postscript files, and I know that used with ghostview you can display
them in X windows. What else can it do? Can I write ps files? (i.e. word
processing?)
If not, how would I go about it?

There are a number of ways of creating postscript files:
1. Use a text processor. I use groff
eg
.sz 20
.ft TR
This is an example file

and create postscript with 'groff -Tps -me filename'
Others use TeX or*etc

2. Look at Andrew - this is a system under X that has an almost WYSIWYG
interface that can produce postscript

3. Write your own
eg
%!PS
/inch { 72 mul} def
0 0 moveto
0 10 inch lineto
5 inch 10 inch lineto
closepath
fill
showpage
is postscript to draw a solid triangle 10 inches high and 5 inches wide
(run it through ghostview and see!)

4. Some other option - sorry, there ARE lots of ways of generating PS
files!

Hope this gives you some ideas.
