Those wishing to financially support open-source operating system providers Linux may be interested in taking out a new credit card linked to the organisation.
Complete with a design featuring the famous Linux penguin, Tux, the not-for-profit firm expects to raise funds for its operations through use of the Visa credit card .
The Linux Foundation will receive $50 (£30) every time a card is activated as well as a percentage of any transactions made with the product.
It offers zero per cent on purchases and balance transfer for the first six months, no annual fee and protection against any transactions made.
Jim Zemlin, executive director at the Linux Foundation, said: "This credit card is in response to requests by individuals who want to get involved and support the Linux Foundation's community activities."
Financial website lovemoney.com recently warned holidaymakers going travelling this summer against the use of credit cards abroad due to high fees.
