Linux to help animals

Active Media Products just released the perfect gift for Linux nerds young and old.

The actual product wasn't made with Linux users in mind. Active Media teamed up with the WWF ( World Wildlife Fund) to make a bunch of USB drives themed after endangered animals. A portion of the proceeds from sales will go to the WWF to help stop cute animals such as Penguin from dying out.

There are four different versions of the Penguin USB drive available; 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB versions. The 8GB version will retail for around $26 dollars, and all versions are available right now from Amazon.com and other retailers.
