"We Linux folks have a long tradition of spreading the word about our amazing OS, and this $1 gift offer is part of that spirit of giving and sharing" said Carlie Fairchild, VP of Marketing & Sales. "It's close to getting two subscriptions for the price of one, so how can anyone go wrong? Furthermore, we'll rush out a free gift card to notify the friend that the gift of Linux is on its way."

To take advantage of the special offer, new and existing subscribers should call 1-888-66-LINUX during the month of December. Sorry, this offer is available in North America only.
