Just a quick post today folks. You may remember recently on the show I offered a quick competition prize, our first competition prize ever in fact. It was an Arch Linux pen kindly donated to us by friend of the show and general troublemaker Peter Cannon. I also managed to find a Red Hat pen I had spare and unused in the house, so I threw that in too. The lucky winner was John Hoye from the USA, and so I duly shipped the package off to him by Airmail last week. It only just occurred to me that I should write something about it here and show the evidence. Here’s a picture of the pens just prior to sending:

The Pens

The challenge was simply to tell us why you thought you should have the pen and I would pick my favourite entry. John sent an amusing line for me to read in my bad Sean Connery accent and it made us laugh. So I hope he enjoys the pens, and who knows maybe we’ll get into the competition stuff more in future. It’s something we haven’t really explored so far. Remember folks, the pen is mightier than the sword… especially if you’ve gpt two of them and they’re Linux related

Catch you soon,

Dan
