Here is a list of Linux gifts for gamers, developers,
cyborgs, and newbies. If Santa’s elves were open source developers,
these are the toys that would fill the sleigh.

“Those in the open source community are accustomed to giving, so
it may be difficult to understand the soul-consuming greed that
grips the rest of us at this time each year. But just for once,
forget the spirit of GNU and let yourself wallow in desire. You can
start to practice coveting with these suggestions from Rawn Shah,
our resident reviewer. The incorrigibly selfless can use this list
for gift ideas.”
