Hi there If you feel like having a life-time email address @linux.com and a spare 250USD (150USD for the email address, 99USD/a for the Linux Foundation membership), then have a look here: http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/biz-enterprise/127569-new-benefits-offe... Student memberships are cheaper, only 25USD/a. Apparently, you do get cheaper deals at Lenovo, Dell and HP with that membership and also some other discounts. Check out the website mentioned above.
