Gadgets & Gear: Official PCLinuxOS Store Opens

by Paul Arnote (parnote)

This month, we definitely take a look at gear. PCLinuxOS gear, to be specific. Just in time for the holiday season, the Official PCLinuxOS Store opened on CafePress.com. Now, you can support your favorite Linux distro by purchasing, wearing, and using items emblazoned with the PCLinuxOS logo. In the process, you'll be helping to spread the word to the "un-informed" about the best OS for PC's — anywhere!

There are a wide range of products available. Here, PCLinuxOS user and e-17 theme master Agust shows off his PCLinuxOS Golf Shirt ($19.99) and PCLinuxOS Trucker Hat ($14.99).

Various styles of t-shirts are available, ranging in price from $12.99 to $23.99, and in various colors. You can even purchase t-shirts for your littlest PCLinuxOS users. Shirts for toddlers and infants sell for $10.99, while the shirts for the kids sell for $15.99.

Three styles of hats are available, ranging in price from $14.99 to $18.99. You can buy a thong ($9.99) for that special PCLinuxOS user in your life, or boxer shorts ($14.99) printed with the PCLinuxOS logo.

If clothing and hats aren't your thing, then you can purchase other, more utilitarian items. You can purchase a PCLinuxOS wall clock for only $13.99. There is also a choice of two different sized coffee mugs (Neal, are you listening?), for $14.99 and $15.99. You can choose from a tile coaster with the PCLinuxOS logo ($6.50), or a PCLinuxOS mouse pad ($12.99). There are also 3" x 5" stickers that you can place on the side of your computer case, or on your car's bumper, that are printed with the PCLinuxOS logo ($3.99). You have a choice of either an oval or rectangular sticker.

All profits from the sale of the items will go to help support continued development of PCLinuxOS.
