These people haven't heard of Linux have no desire to run it. 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. -_- No offense, but most of the people I see at my local Wal-Marts are what you would consider “rednecks,” “hillbillies,” and “inbreds,” that would surprise me if they could find the power button on his or her PC.
