Linux Foundation aims to boost membership with new perks

“”Linux” isn’t included in the “Operating System” filter at the
EPP portal (though, surprisingly, FreeDOS is). I eventually found
the tiny “Open-Source PCs” link towards the bottom of the left-hand
column. The discount from Dell is roughly 7 percent, but it’s a
pretty nice deal because it stacks with other discounts and coupon
codes.

“Members also get discounts on O’Reilly and No Starch Press
books, Linux Journal Subscriptions, and some ThinkGeek.com
purchases. For Linux enthusiasts who regularly buy computer
hardware and other discounted stuff, the $99 membership fee could
pay for itself pretty quickly. The lifetime e-mail offering, on the
other hand, doesn’t seem all that appealing. $150 is a lot to pay
for a mere forwarding service.”
