But who goes to the bookstore looking for SOFTWARE?
Nobody has given a satisfactory answer to that question.
Actually, here in Germany, this used to be pretty common,
in particular for everything related to Linux. IIRC we made a large proportion of our box sales with that book store channel. This might have to do with sciense book stores in university cities having some tradition in selling books about Unix and X11. /snip/
Well, there are two (related) bookselling channels in the US, as well as a couple of other big names. The related ones are Borders and Amazon.com. And I have bought several versions of Linux from Borders. If they sell it, it is available from Amazon.com. I haven't been there lately, but they have a large computer section (of books) and a small section of operating systems. I bet you can find Mandriva and some version of Redhat there. And all kinds of Linux magazines with various OS releases bound in. --doug Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M.
