Humorix Holiday Gift Idea #1

Linux-of-the-Month Club
Price: US$60 for a one year membership
Producer: CheapNybbles; 1-800-LINUX-CD

It's the gift that keeps on giving. Every month a CD-ROM with a different
Linux distribution or BSD Unix flavor will be sent in the mail. This is the
perfect gift for those that have been using Slackware since day one and
haven't gotten around to trying another distribution. Or, for those friends
or relatives that still cling to Windows, a Linux-of-the-Month club
membership is the perfect way to say, "Your OS sucks".
