La Curacao takes the plunge into a Linux-based OS
,----[ Quote ]
| La Curacao is a Los Angeles-based chain of Hispanic-focused electronics
| stores. Its locations are decorated with symbols of ancient Mayan and Aztec
| civilizations: the chain’s motto, “Un Poco De Su Pais,” translates to “a
| little bit of your country.”
|
| While La Curacao enjoys strong levels of customer loyalty, its previous
| operating system sometimes left both customers and sales associates
| frustrated. Transactions could take a long time to complete, which prompted
| some sales associates to abort the process and start over.

Kogan promises a Linux Netbook by the end of March
,----[ Quote ]
| Kogan admits he's a big fan of Linux, and that the decision to adopt it was
| driven by feedback on the Kogan blog. "I was happy that people don't mind
| having Linux on their laptop. It seems that the wider market is starting to
| not be as scared of it as it was a couple of years ago."
|
| [...]
|
| On the overall technology selling market, Kogan also remains optimistic and
| upbeat. "We've gone from being a 4 million dollar company last year to a 20
| million dollar company this year. We see brands like Hitachi and Fujitsu
| dropping out of the (LCD TV) market. It's not because of lack of demand.
| They're dropping out due to archaic business models. People are becoming
| price educated. The $950 government grant will make the demand for LCD TVs
| skyrocket. Conventional retail cannot compete."
