Someone wants me to pay $50 for his interpretation of a free Linux distro
(that can't be downloaded)

Haven't laughed so hard since I was told that the super-secure German SUSE
distro isn't from Utah, and (by way of investment) quite possibly banned for
sale in its former originating country.

Not that it's a bad distro, of course - a trusted colleague swears by it.
Although he /was/ kinda bemused to discover that it wasn't actually from
"Urup". Just like I was bemused to discover that the (USAian) RHN was a big
steaming pile of surplus bovine "product". Just goes to show.
