Gallery: Linux open a merchandise store, geek T-shirts a-go-go

Linux, the stripped-down computer operating system favoured by hardcore geeks and members of the leet-erati have just launched… their own merchandise store. Yes I think that makes us all very happy.

Is it an attempt to gain a wider fan-base? to give them a friendly accessible feeling? Or was the demand for this gear just so strong. Who knows?

They say: “The images on the T-shirts, mugs, hats, stickers and other items, some of which are designed by community members, invoke feelings of geek pride, freedom, fun, eccentricity, and originality.”

We had to do a gallery, of course we did. This is a pretty momentuous day for geek chic.
