Clicking on the link takes you to http://www.thelinuxstore.com Now that is a bizarre marketing technique if I've ever seen one. Of course, it made me look, so maybe it is effective albeit somewhat weird. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
