Remember when Linux was sold on CD-Rom

    When I'd go to best buy or compusa I'd walk though every aisle and oogle at everything

    One of my favorite sections was the operating system section.
    It was so exotic, I would state at the boxes for minutes imagining what it was like.

    This was back when you could buy Suse and Red Hat when they were packaged like a video game.

    Fucking amazing times.

    You can buy a distro now but they're just lame ads discs in a paper sleave, no box with elaborate packaging designs and screen shots

    some places 'sell' lunix installers for the cost of the media for people who can't get it from the internet for whatever reason.

    also there are a few distros like Red Hate that sell support/online infrastructure as a part of the license

    imagine being such a CONSOOOOOOMER that you're nostalgic for a time when you could buy free software in a store because it had pretty packaging

    My favorite tech store is Fry's though they have gone to shit since they hired a bunch of blacks and downsized the inventory.

    Best buys is obviously second place

    Compusa I hardly ever went to

    I enjoyed small stores like Staples, they were like miniature best buys.
    There was one in the strip mall behind my grandparent's I wouod go to to just walk around and look at all the new tech.

    I fucking miss so much walking down an aisle of CRT tvs stackes side by side ;_;
    Seeing packs upon packs of recordable VHS tapes and multicolored floppy disks
    Back when tech had SOUL

    and like you could find a really cool obscure PC game for cheap

    I bought this one first person shooter that was like a dukr nukem clone
    I think it was at the staples I also got Postal 2.

    Postal 2 happens to be one of my childhood friends favorite games of all time
    He's a homosexual so I wonder if it has anything to do with being able to whip out your penis and pee on people
