I installed a double boot, Windows 95 and SuSE 7.0 Pro, system at Midwest Electronics yesterday. I was very surprised by the interest generated. Several customers were quite knowledgeable about Linux and had installed systems of their own. An employee of the store had been learning Linux for a while. In fact Linux seemed to be the main attraction, with hardware ignored. The complexity of Linux can be justified if people are shown the power of Linux. Both vendors and their customers only seem to need the slightest exposure to Linux. Since Minneapolis (etc.) is quite a trek, I can only hope they can keep the system alive.
