Thanks to Linux, this beer's for you! (NewsForge)

NewsForge reports on a novel new use of Linux. "Want to send your best buddy, boss, or promising client a drink "on you" via your wireless phone? You can, if your friend lives in London. Eagle Eye Solutions, based in the United Kingdom, is launching a new service today called Buymeabeer.com using a Linux-based server platform. It's a simple concept -- so simple, one wonders why no one else has implemented the idea until now." Your editors are eagerly awaiting the adoption of this technology by some of the local Colorado micro-breweries.

Hmmm. But shouldn't it be buysomeoneelseabeer.com? (Domain available -- quick, someone!)

First free speech, now free beer?

Well, not quite, but maybe if Linus is in London someone will buy him one, which would make it free for him...
