Re: [Trisquel-users] Are there any famous celebrities that advocate Free Software?

I'm not sure what, if anything, of Ubuntu was shown, but, a lead character  
mentioned it by name. Afaik, this has happened once in the entire series  
called The Big Bang Theory. Otherwise, characters are shown using Skype and  
their IThings.  Oh, and I think Ubuntu got a brief mention in a Tom Clancy  
novel; I think all his books are best-sellers. A character was talking about  
outfitting laptops for field operatives in a ficticious intelligence agency,  
and how the operating system's openness and freedom allow the agency to  
purpos-build their systems. Hmmmm, free software used to spy on folks; not  
sure I like that much...  Now, if only I could remember which book this  
was... If I hadn't been using ShuttleworthOS at the time, I probably wouldn't  
have noticed.  If only we could get more prominent placement.
