Dear Best Buy: Ubuntu Is Still Free Software

Good news! Best Buy is finally selling Ubuntu!

If I could quote ubuntu.com

Ubuntu will always be free of charge, including enterprise releases and security updates.

Now, I understand that the GNU actually encourages the sale of free software, but come on. One DVD for $19.99, plus an anoying Geek Squad turd trying up-sell you. It’s crap like this that helps me understand why Physical Media Stores will go by the way side very soon.

So pick up your copy of this free OS at Best Buy for only $19.99 plus $3.99 S&H. Or, download it for free here.
