Viva la Revolucion de Open Source!

Cuba and Venezuela, the Bad Boys of the Caribbean Basin, have taken an unusual step in fighting so-called American Imperialism — they are dumping Windows is favor of open source Linux.

You see, not only is dropping $250 on a new copy of Windows Vista a bad deal, it’s feeding the imperialist tyranny! Viva Open Source! Viva Linus Torvalds!

The world is not just collective, it’s collaborative too. I don’t know how this fits into the 20th century paradigm of Communism versus Western Capitalism, but it sure is interesting.

For those of you who get a laugh out of the Red Hat + Che Guevara image — you are as big a geek as I am. Stand up and be proud.
