Not one computer store I've gone to since 1999 has stocked _anything_
which actually says "Linux" on it. The last thing I remember was a store
called MicroBytes which had a boxed copy of RedHat Linux 5. After that,
it seemed to become taboo to mention that name, probably because of how
negative the consumer response to its experience was.
