OK then - you want 3 places that stock Linux.
How about 3 places in the UK that stock Linux?
All South London - Croydon borough.
1. PC World - Caldera, Red Hat and Suse. Sold right next door to the copies of Windows NT and BackOffice - obvious they bundle to power OSes together.
2. Software Warehouse, Red Hat and Caldera.
3. Circuit World. Red Hat along with bundles of other non Wintel and non PC software.
It's not really lack of availability that we're talking about it's lack of oportunity - PC Vendors dont want to stick their necks out and offer non Windows systems because they have been afraid.
