Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu If you walk into a BestBuy this week you may spot some new software peeking out from the shelves. Yes, Ubuntu is now available as a spiffy boxed set in stores and on-line.

Kind of agree, but... BB employee incompetence doesn't make them microsofties. Just predisposes them to be. Bought SuSE at BB a couple of times and always felt good about it even though I went back to RedHat both times. Having boxes in view next to Vista in a major retail chain makes Linux seem "mainstream" to Joe Public and less the tool of the hacker elite. I'll buy a copy for my mom's laptop. And for 60 days she can call best buy instead of me when she hoses something up.
