Or they could grab Mint or Ubuntu for free and buy the cheapie version of AF for $10. Or nick the ROM's and images off TPB like everyone else does, lol. I've paid for WB and KS 5 times over in my lifetime, I had no qualms about grabbing such files for use with an emulator when my WB disks were of no use on my PC.
$115 for a reworked distro is insanity. What exactly are the value adds to warrant a $100+ Linux distro, if you don't mind me asking?
