Sorry guys my original message didn't go through, so here it is again. I think if you are going to go with the word "got" it should be "Got Linux?". I also think something a little more clever could be developed. Maybe a dancing penguin? Maybe a YouTube campaign mocking the Apple Vs. Microsoft campaign by adding a 3rd person into the conversation? Maybe a call to action on not being a clone or not accepting the status quo? " Linux. Rise Above the Crowd". I thinlk a lot more brainstorming is required on this topic?
I also like the idea of using Tux. There have been some major movies using penguins Happy Feet and Surfs Up being the latest. I really think all of the elements are here we just need to put them together. Orion Alexander Chief Technology Officer NexDesk, Inc.

I do like "Got options?" as it uses a positive "option" - you could also make a connection with an "issue" or "challenge" word... not sure if positive or negatives are better, but perhaps just another way to frame the ideation discussion. "Got cornered?" "Got stuck?" "Got another plan?" "Got a window of choice?" Could also use "Need"... "Need options?" "Need a new vista?" "Need a choice?" "Need a change?"
