It was me.  They have consistently sold RedHat Linux since 4.2,  and Applixware
for about the past six months.  Everytime I've been in there they've been
there.

And last week in Computer city was Applixware, RedHat 5.0,  WGS Linux Pro,
 some other Linux thing,  and a couple of them beefy Linux books that weigh in
at about 15 lbs.  On their own rack next to the networking cards and hubs.
