Brian, Well the impression I get from Wal-Mart is that their labor practices and race relations are not the best. Some news reports I read allege disregard for harrasment complaints as well as anti-union stances. This could very well be wrong. In any case this is not a disqualifier. It would be easier to convince Wal-Mart to allow the LUG to set shop installing linux than to convince Target to start selling OS-less boxes and then convince them to let us set up shop. In the case of Linux on would hope that a good success rate of convincing people to install Linux would prompt other chains of doing the same. Then this could be a bargaining point with Wal-Mart. Of course, this is all premature I guess until we know for sure whether we would want to approach Wal-Mart. -- Samir M.
