Best Buy Is Selling Ubuntu
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?"
I paid a ho $20 for mouth-to-ass and got anal ubuntu!
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Amazing :-) In the US you can get long term support for free? That is fantastic. I am not surprised that so many companies do well but I cannot understand how the companies providing the long term support make money...
It never ceases to amaze me how much BS the experts talk about Linux...
I love stacking my barbecues in the shed at the end of summer - you can't beat a bit of grill on grill action.
Valid point although I have make a great effort to avoid the purchase of goods from communist regimes. It is difficult at times, and even impossible at times, but the less of my money they get the better off I am, or at least the better off I feel.

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.
