I know, I know. This is pretty self-promote-y. But I've got a sneaking feeling that this will be of interest.
So Linux doesn't suck anymore?
No and 2013 is the year of Linux on desktop.
I am interested in your book, but it is unlikely that I'll remember to come back tomorrow. I would recommend at least taking email addresses to send a reminder.

Best of luck with this.

Looks interesting, but I have no idea what it's about. Other than Linux, and badass. Which are two of my favourite things, however, for all I know it could just be alternating pages of the words "linux", "badass", and "fuck".
“100% RMS approved!”

Nice try, kernel adulator. It's GNU/Linux, or GNU+Linux.

I just added ‘kernel adulator’ to the list of terms I’ll use. My search engine (DDG) returned zero mentions of the term, so you may have coined a new one (and a good one at that.) I’m not a big fan of RMS, but I do agree that Linux distributions should be referred to as ‘GNU/Linux’. OS X is more than XNU too.
This is just advertising and blogspam. Flagged.
“We all know that Linux is badass. Now there’s a book to prove it. Sure to convert even the most die-hard Windows or Mac users”

I think you meant ‘OS X users’ instead of ‘Mac users’. Macs are computers – they can run a number of OSes, including GNU/Linux distributions. Mac users can be GNU/Linux users.

I hope this error is not indicative of the rest of the content.

I'll probably buy the book, seeing as it's cheap as shit. But, I just want to say, your BBS is one of the most awesome things I've found all year. (wishing I wasn't so young)
