Seeking BSD or Linux Posters? 38

As good as it gets.

the clothes, they are made from very good material,
they don't get damaged soon (or by washing).
Wim Vandeputte (European distributor) is also nice,
even if he's sometimes quite backlogged.

Though you'd have to print it out yourself, of course.

What do you need pre-printed posters for? Just spool out your favourite man/info pages, grab some electrical tape and...ta da!

Anyway, they were pictures of me sitting at a computer with various things going on in the background (a house burning down, a karate match, and a...ahem...beauty pagaent). I remained blissfully unaware of anything going on behind me, but just kept hacking. The caption said "Linux...when you're into it, you're into it."
Anyway. I also have a couple of really cool Linux posters I got at the Comdex before last at the Penguin Computing booth - one is Tux holding a Quak3 rocket launcher with the caption "Born To Frag", and the other is a Tux-shaped eclipse with the caption, "A Linux Eclipse of the Sun". They're both framed and very cool - but no place to hang them currently.

I was thinking of picking up one of the linux anatomy charts [oreilly.com] that my google search picked up, but apparently they're only available at trade shows.

It is not necessary for you to eat, sleep, breathe, and stare at computer shit all day long. In your place of work, surround yourself with things unrelated to work. In my office, I used to have a framed 24" x 36" print of a vintage poster from the Egyptian board of tourism, in French. It was great; exotic and soothing at the same time. Whenever I wanted, I could glance up from my monitor and see something completely unrelated to computers in any way. It was like a thirty second micro-vacation. Only thing that kept me sane during the dark days as the company-- a software startup-- was spiraling down the drain.

Don't blow it, or somebody might make up a comical poster about the chances of you losing your virginity and put it on their wall.

Agreed. Have a look around here [easyart.com], find something you like, then get it framed and delivered. Some people take the whole "geek pride" thing way too far.

Course with me it actually is a picture of my wife, and it's a nice big printout I made at home, but relative to the size of my cubicle it looked like a poster...

Posters are for cubicle, art is for office. (Score:2)
Posters are appropriate for a cubicle. The fact that you are in an office now is supposed to indicate some sort of promotion. Correct?
I'm not saying that you have to be stuffy, far from it. Put when one thinks of an office, one thinks of wood tones, frames, and art.
Oil paintings of nekkid ladies might be a bit much. But I'm sure that you can afford something. Show the world that you are a cut above. Show the world that you're also willing to make the next cut....the executive office.
But do buy the posters you seek. I've looked at what people pointed out here and there are some nice ones. Put some up in your garage at home. Ask some of your friends who still reside in the cubicles to put them up. Show them you haven't forgotten where you came from.
