Austin is now home to what appears to be the first-ever radio ad for Linux. None other than Ken Starks of the HeliOS Project announced the good news a few weeks ago, explaining that the 60-second ad — recorded pro bono by professional voice talent — would be running several times a day for a full month on Austin’s KLBJ AM. Even better: It runs during the Kim Komando technology show, which is “poetic justice,” Starks explained — “her show is full of ads for antivirus software, registry fixers and all the addons that slow a Windows computer to a crawl.”
