Well Brad, I appreciate your spirited defense. (Some spelling and punctuation would help.) But it's obvious Best Buy is not listening to real customers. A lot of people have been pestering a lot of vendors for a lot of years to support Linux. Linux users buy all kinds of hardware, but get ripped off in terms of support- you take our money, but don't deliver the same support as windoze users get. (Not that Best Buy is known for good customer service under any circumstances.)
We all know it's fear of Microsoft that keeps most vendors from supporting Linux. Though maybe this is a good thing, because even though Windows customers get support in terms of preinstalls, boxed software, and drivers, technical and warranty support are almost universally sucky. At least in the Linux world you'll find actual expertise.
