I sorta grinned when the guy mentioned being in contact with Barry from CUSA prior. Awfully familiar, isn't it.
CUSA capitalized on the confusion as best as they could as well.
I wish these Linux guys the best - but I still didn't get an answer to my question:
What exactly warrants the $115 cost on the distro with AF included via them, when I can just DL the distro and buy AF for $10 separately?
