Hiya, |

I hope that everyone is aware of the recent dramatic drop in RAM prices -- for |
4 |
example, I just (a few minutes ago) purchased a 256Mb ECC CAS2 PC133 SDRAM chip |
5 |
from http://www.crucial.com (Micron) for $100.79 US (with free 2-day shipping)! |
6 |
No, I didn't make that up. |

|
8 |
I'm a big fan of Micron memory (it's the "official" memory of cvs.gentoo.org, |
9 |
and as soon as I get my 256Mb stick, my development box as well), so I've |
10 |
signed us up for their referral program. If you are planning to take advantage |
11 |
of the current dramatic drop in RAM prices (not reflected yet at every RAM shop, |
12 |
but definitely reflected at crucial.com), then please use our "experimental" |
13 |
crucial.com tiny ad link to head over to crucial.com and purchase your RAM. |
14 |
By doing so, you'll help support Gentoo Linux development, since Achim and |
15 |
I don't generate any income from our work on Gentoo Linux. |

I gave the ad its own private page because our current site doesn't yet lend |
22 |
itself to advertising. While we're working on the site redesign, I wanted you |
23 |
guys to know about the current very low RAM prices and have the opportunity to |
24 |
help support Gentoo Linux by purchasing some RAM using the above link. |
25 |
|
26 |
If anyone knows of any other *quality* (important!) products that you think |
27 |
are worth promoting on our site, then please let me know. One product in |
28 |
particular that I wouldn't mind advertising is Ecrix's VXA-1 tape drive (we |
29 |
have one sitting in cvs.gentoo.org, and it's really nice). Let me know if |
30 |
you have any ideas -- I'd like to have several possibilities ready for our |
31 |
new site. |
