Well for us, yes.  However, if you go to Borders you can find Linux software
in the computer books section and the cost is $ 40.00 or so.  It looks more
legitimate to people who are still in the older mindset of paying for a
product with a cd, a book, and a box.

I think the Ubuntu magazines they have out now are pretty cool.  They have
an entire issue covering the most popular OS applications and Ubuntu itself,
a DVD of both the 32 bit and 64 bit distros, and a lot of other friendly
info.  They cost around $15 or so.

Now if Best Buy ever tries selling a $20.00 Slackware package--that would be
pretty funny.
