Bloody hell Howard, you've been a 'penguin' for how long, and you're into the kernel sources already. Slow down !

Good news :

Interestingly enough, take out a subscription to "Linux User & Developer" magazine (£85.00 ish) and get a free gift of a boxed set of Suse Linux 9.1 worth £69.00 ish.

Bad news :

Only applies to the UK.

I'm sorely tempted myself, but I'm not 100% sure I really like the comic itself.

Cheers,
Norm.

PS. I'm off on holiday for 3 weeks. SWMBO has decided that she *needs* some sun, while I end up chasing shadows to presevr my pale blus Scottish skin tones.

PPS. SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed.
