I was by the MS OS software boxes and asked a Best Buy employee. "You guys have Ubuntu Linux OS?" "What? Bluetooth mouse? "No, Ubuntu Linux, it's an operating system!" "No, you'll probably have to go online for that. We don't carry that." So I figured I'd take a look myself. I found it sandwiched between some virus software and some game. I turned around and the BB employee had left. I grabbed the box and hunted him down. I found him by the customer service counter. So tactfully I said: (well not really tactfully). (In my best Marine Corps drill sergeant voice) "Hey you! Yeah you!.... When someone comes into the store and ask for Ubuntu or Linux, this is what there looking for!" "Oh, I didn't even know we carried that, thank you for showing me!"
