Linux finds itself blushing after crashCan't make race to finishBy Nick Farrell: Wednesday 30 May 2007, 09:16A MOVE to market Linux on a pale blue car at the 91st Indianapolis 500 turned out to be a huge embarrassment when the car was the first to crash.The Linux car was the result of a campaign called Tux 500 run by two enthusiasts named Bob Moore and Ken Starks. They got cash from fellow Linux geeks to start a "community powered Linux marketing program" to make the open-source operating system a household name by putting its logo on a race car.However the Linux car could not claim it was faster or more reliable that the rest. In fact it crashed and came in last.Even the Joost car did better and that software, which is only in beta, has a habit of crashing.
