While wandering down one of the corridors near my lab the other day, one of the lab doors was open, revealing a monitor with the Ubuntu login screen peering out into the world. It made me smile at least. Quite a while ago we were giving our end of 1st year presentations and one guy plugged his laptop into the projector to reveal an ubuntu desktop. (If only I could get my dual monitor set up working smoothly...)
