Ubuntu Linux goes retail
,----[ Quote ]
| Steve George, director of corporate services for Canonical, announced on a
| blog that Canonical along with ValuSoft, a U.S. retail software distributor,
| have paired together to get a boxed version of Ubuntu 8.04 into Best Buy
| retail stores. The retail box contains a "Ubuntu 8.04 CD, a Quick Start Guide
| and 60 days of support from the ValuSoft team, trained and backed by the
| Canonical support guys. The support covers installation and getting started
| using Ubuntu and is priced at $19.99."

There goes the FUD that Linux lacks technical support.

Ubuntu At Best Buy?

| Wow, this certainly surprised me. Today I found out that Ubuntu Linux is now
| being sold at Best Buy online and even at some stores. And normally I would
| say this is great, except there is a problem - what the heck is
| Ubuntu “complete” edition? To my knowledge, Canonical (owner of the
| copyrights and trademarks for Ubuntu) never provided any arrangement with
| ValuSoft. Because if it was true that Canonical had struck a deal with Best
| Buy, it would potentially overshadow the news we once saw with the
| Ubuntu/Dell deal.

| Add another once Windows-only PC distributor to the Linux hit list. Thanks to
| the new Asus Eee Laptop, Best Buy, the Richfield, Minnesota based
| corporation, is selling Linux on their website (you can check out the web
