I went to purchase an oopen source OS at an local store of a national chain, and found out that their shelf price was 100% abot the MSRP from the mfg.'s website. Doesn't sound like much encouragement to me. Also, no one on the staff knew anything about the OS, installation, though I suppose they could've given fairl comprehensible directions on how to open the box. My opinion, for now, is to support the Open Source Community by purchasing direct from them.
