"Linux car" first to crash at Indianapolis 500

Linux fans didn't exactly get the publicity they were hoping for at the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday, when the so-called "Linux car" they had sponsored proved to be the first in the race to crash, ultimately causing it to finish dead last. The car was the result of the Tux 500 campaign, which raised enough money to put the familiar Tux mascot front and center on Chastain Motorsports' #77 car in the hope that it'd raise the profile of the OS. Faring considerably better in the publicity department was Joost, which sponsored the car that wound up finishing a respectable seventh. Maybe next time the Linux folks should work on making the whole car open source.

Há pessoal que diz que a culpa é do driver...:x2:

Os maiores problemas do linux comigo sempre foram causado pelos drivers, logo, foi o driver o culpado disto tudo, mas não há nada que não se resolva no linux, arranjem um driver diferente... LOLOLOLOL

<Jay> Did you hear about the Linux-car finishing last in the indy500?
<MrBeek> I did now ;-)
<MrBeek> Not surprised though... You know how impossible it is to find a decent driver for linux hardware?
 
Se o carro não usa nos seus circuitos electrónicos o Kernel Linux, nem faz grande sentido a notícia.

É tão provavel isso acontecer como a outro carro qualquer.
Mas esperem, tenho a certeza que a Microsoft vai aproveitar isso para os "Get the facts".
