Canonical’s plan to bring the increasingly popular Ubuntu Linux distribution to stores in meatspace is an indication that the company believes Linux is ready for a mainstream audience. The question, however, is whether the package delivers enough additional value to justify the cost. Consumers can pick up Ubuntu in a box for $19.99 at Best Buy stores or order it for the same price from the Best Buy web site. Included with the package is a quick-start guide and 60 days of installation and setup support from Canonical partner ValuSoft.
