Angry Sponsors offer


Hi,

In a email I received from LinuxQuestions.org was a link to an offer for a 'free' "Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide" I copied and pasted the url into the address bar of my browser. I was okay, somewhat in providing my name emal address home address and such. Then it asked for business infornmation. I am a private individual, I have no comnpany or any of the info they wanted. I tried to put on the line 'Not Applicable' but for several that was not enough for them..

I understand you do not have any control over third partes and what they put on their so called free offers. I am just saying that i am probably not alone in my frustration that becasue I am not a 'Company' i am out of luck.

If you fill in the form with fake information, you will still receive the "Introduction to Linux" guide completely gratis. We apologize for the inconvenience.
