I just got this last week. Pay what you want is a cool idea, and they've almost hit a million dollars so far. Just to point out that some of these games are pretty graphics intense. Penumbra wouldn't run on my computer, nor aquaria. but i'd still buy it again just for World of Goo.
Apparently they've found that the people downloading the linux versions of the games have on average paid more than the win/mac crowd.
