I found an awe­some deal this week­end. The book enti­tled “Ubuntu Unleashed, 2008 Edi­tion” from Sams comes with a free upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10! I found this at the local Barnes & Noble.

Sim­ply amazing…can you believe there just givin’ this stuff away?

Really…is this nec­es­sary? A “Free Upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10″ sticker on the book “Ubuntu Unleashed, 2008 Edi­tion” from Sams.
