I find it very interesting that nearly four years ago, when I
bought my Toshiba Netbook with Ubuntu Remix from Dixons, they were
selling like hot cakes, far better than the equivalent Windows
machines.<br>
Then suddenly, overnight, they disappeared. Now what retailer
would remove a best-selling line instantly like that, <i>unless </i>there
was some sort of external pressure to do so? ;-(<br>

When I bought my Acer Aspire with Linux Lite on it, the guy in
PCWorld said that it might not connect to the internet and there was
no support, and they were getting loads returned because nobody knew
how to use it, so if I couldnt get it to work, I could get my money
back......which tells me that is why Linux based computers
disappeared.<br>
