SirLurksAlot writes "It appears that Best Buy is now selling Ubuntu, both through its Web site and in its brick-and-mortar locations. Going by the release on the product page, Ubuntu has actually been available for the low, low price of $19.99 since May 6th of this year. It is being packaged as the 'Complete Edition.' While they don't specify on the site what version is being offered, a quick call to a local store revealed it to be Hardy Heron, the latest Long Term Support version. How did this development fly under the radar for over two months without anybody noticing?"

Absolutely. About a week after my son's second birthday, I formatted his hard drive and gave him an Ubuntu disk. He installed it with no problem. He had just turned two. That means he couldn't even read. I'll give you that he is extremely smart, but really, he had just turned two. I have no doubt that anyone who can figure out how to put a CD in the drive and reboot their computer can install Ubuntu.
