You'd think if the author was familiar wiht Linux he'd at least have access to the GIMP. At $12 per plus shipping, I can't see a market for such an amateurish product. For just a little more you could get a full-length book that provides a whole lot more information, and I can't see little kids caring what a distro or a kernel is - and the comic itself doesn't provide any real information on how to actually USE the Linux desktop. A good idea squandered with terrible execution, I hope this doesn't soil the waters too badly for someone who isn't looking to make a quick buck from such a shoddy product.
