  1. I’m glad to see you spreading the word about World of Goo. Its important Linux ports of high profile games do well if we want to see more native games for Linux.

  2. I enjoy reading about technology, but I could do without the cartoon profanity. This is supposed to be a newsletter not Penthouse. I am a huge fan of Mint but there are plenty of other distros out there. Don’t drive away part of your fan base !
