[ubuntu-us-mn] Best Buy

[Brian Dolan-Goecke]

That is great that BestBuy is selling Ubuntu.  I think the best way to 
show your support is to go and buy a copy ($21.34 after tax, in 
Roseville) even if you don't need it (you can always pass it along to 
someone that does).  I bought a copy the other day when I first saw this 
email.

We all know if they aren't going to make money, they aren't going to 
sell it!

Maybe we should have a "BestBuyutu" Day ?  When a group goes to Best Buy 
and buys Ubuntu... might run them out ? hummm...
