Yeah, I bought the official Red Hat 4.1 boxed set at a Borders
store back in '97. I even bought the SPARC version at Borders!
I also bought Applixware for Linux at CompUSA around '98 or so.
Both CompUSA and Best Buy used to have a lot of Linux stuff on
their shelves, not just distros but apps as well.

That was when I was still on dialup, and didn't have a CD burner.
After getting a cable modem and a CD burner, I stopped buying
stuff from the stores.
