And I am willing to guess these packages will be included on the CD in your March 2008 issue, along with a good description of each in the magazine. I am surprised to see a Fedora Games spin in there...you might probably think it's there to entice the teenagers or something.

Umm... is it only teenagers who play games on computers ? :) Given the legal hurdles that this one needed to go through, I'd say that the Games and Localization spins are a good thing

Reasoning: I am not a teenager by a long shot. I don't play games. Therefore teenagers play games. Works within certain very tight bounds.
