First Linux-only Retail Store?

Posted by michael on from the gone-crazy-from-the-cold dept.

Greedo writes "The Toronto Star is reporting that 'Toronto will become home this weekend to what's being touted as the first retail computer store devoted exclusively to Linux-based products.' The store, Sub500.com, will sell PCs and laptop computers based on Linspire. Marc and David Silverman had been selling Linux products over the Web for 18 months. They also operate a car wash and figured they could use surplus office space at that location to open a Linux store."

  1. Not first Unix store... by artlu · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I think Apple holds the title for selling first *nix/*bsd based store, and I think they did it quite successfully too. What about online vendors that have "locations" and not stores exactly. I don't think I give these guys the title slashdot has bestowed upon them.
