My first copy of Linux, SuSE 6.2, was bought at Best Buy. It came on 6 CDs. There was no way I was going to download that over a 33.6 modem.
So long as Best Buy abides by the terms of distribution I say more power to them.
- bgutierrez 18y agoI had a similar experience. My first copy of linux was the RedHat 7 distro that came with "Linux for Dummies", and it cost $20. At the time I didn't have a CD burner or a good connection, so it made sense. It was also nice to have the book, even if it didn't make me much better than being a Dummy.
