$79.99 is to expensive , shucks , you can go down to the book store and buy a good quality linux book with the distro on cd for half the $79.99 price of the boxed set.
Yes, you could do that and would get much less then what we offer. Less in
terms of software on CD and less in support (actually none). Now support may
not be so interesting for someone who uses Linux as long as you do, but
still I think it's a fair price we're asking for.
We do much development that the rest of the Linux community directly benefit
from, like glibc, kernel, XFree86 and KDE, just to name a few. And as
Michael said, sales didn't deminish a bit after going up with the price. So
it seems people do still think they get value for their money.
