Linux in Best Buy ad

[Wandered Inn <esoteric@denali.atlnet.com>]

Caught a Red Hat Linux ad in the Sunday Best Buy Ads.  Found it
interesting for a couple of reasons.

First, the Best Buy close to me had Linux for a while, then nothing.  I
inquired as to why and the store manager (yes I went that far) said that
it was a 'corporate' decision to quick carrying it, but that that could
change at any time.  I kept checking it out and about a week ago found
they had a ton of RH 5.2 on the shelf, along with another package of RH
5.2 + powertools.  I counted them, more RH then Windows 98!  Interesting
though, Win 98 took up more shelf space because they were stacked the
long way ([][][][] ), where as most of the RH was stacked, like books at
the library. ( ||||||| )

The Ad price was a good 'shelf' price in that you could pick up RH 5.2
for $24.95, which is better than I've found anywhere online.

The Ad also stated 'one per customer' which makes me feel good that they
feel they need to limit the purchases in this way.

You mean you paid MONEY for Service Pack '98????
