Best Buy is *selling* Ubuntu?!?!?!

For 19.99?!?!?!

This smells like the road Christianity went down back in the middle ages...

You know, for some people, being able to pay money for software in a box will lend it some legitimacy. And heck, for someone that doesn't know how to or doesn't have the software, drive, discs and bandwidth to burn an ISO, spending $20 on a boxed Ubuntu might be easier than waiting a couple of weeks for the free discs to be shipped to them.

Hmmm. As long as there is still the free option, why not.

It's for those too lazy to download and burn their own disc.

Also, that way you can buy a shrinkwrap Linux that won't terrify your IT department, as much.
