Linux Credit Card Re-Launches 178
An anonymous reader writes "The all-new Linux Fund Visa Card launched on July 24th. The Linux Fund began in 1999, and lasted until Bank of America bought MBNA and canceled the program earlier this year. Before that time the fund had distributed $100,000 a year on average. US Bank has inked a new deal to resurrect the program with new features. Currently, the project is open to ideas for supporting well-loved and community-supported software that is underfunded. The current list of supported projects includes Debian, Wikipedia, FreeGeek, Freenode, and Blender."

I know how mine works and am too frightened to make the change!
Will it be compatible with my existing wallet or will I need to download a third party money clip?

As for third party money clips, they are available but some of them are still in beta and were forked because someone decided it should fit twenty notes instead of fifteen.
Rest assured that even if you do have problems after the change then there'll be a kind and helpful community that will work with you to help you resolve your problem, instead of having some generic helpdesk, an extortionate phone number or a complete lack of support.
