Wal-Mart Ends Test of Linux in Stores
March 11, 2008 by Kiltak |A few months ago, Wal-Mart started selling $199 Everex “Green PCs” in about 600 of their stores through the U.S. Unfortunately, it seems that the project was a total failure and that the interest of running penguin-powered systems among Wal-Mart customers was just not there.
Computers that run the Linux operating system instead of Microsoft Corp.’s Windows didn’t attract enough attention from Wal-Mart customers, and the chain has stopped selling them in stores, a spokeswoman said Monday.
“This really wasn’t what our customers were looking for,” said Wal-Mart Stores Inc. spokeswoman Melissa O’Brien.

Wal-Mart shouldn’t be selling Linux PCs. Places like Circuit City or Best Buy should. Or do they? The closest one to me is several hours away. -_-
