Re:Humble book bundle: Linux geek by no starch press on Tuesday July 17, 2018 @01:10AM (#17547465)
Did No Starch contact you at all prior to the bundle?

I've always vaguely wondered about the economics of these bundles. As a consumer I love them, but I'm sure quite a few publishers and, more importantly, authors might feel like they devalue the content a bit too much.

This sounds so much like me. Please tell me you ordered RedHat CDs from CheapBytes as well!

I took a bit of an odd path after Slackware, running OpenBSD as a desktop OS. I used Window Maker, and one tangential benefit was that none of my friends knew how to use my computer, so couldn't muck around with it much.
