10 Cool Unix/Linux Personalized License Plates

- - 13 comments
Some people have taken their love for Unix and Linux on the streets literally by displaying their Unix/Linux-related personalized license plates. Though I haven't actually seen one in real life yet, I have collected several photos that will show some of these cool custom license plates in action, which I'm going to share with all of you.

    rm -rf * is an obvious photoshop fake. even a cursory look at california's personalized plate requirements on the state website shows that a * is not allowed, nor are multiple sequential spaces ...

    My work colleagues and I took off early from work one day awhile back to see 'Revenge of the Sith.' As we walked up to buy our tickets we spotted a car in the parking lot sporting a license plate that read: DEVNULL

    Priceless.

  13. "use unix", i tried for "unix" "tcp/ip" but they were gone.

    I see more people in my rear-view mirror taking pictures of my plates on the highway then I care to think about. you can only hope they are paying attention and won't rear end me.
