I've been dying to say this.
Beyond 2000 (on Chatham Row (near the Clarendon) and in Clerys on O'Connell St.)
are looking into selling PCs with linux preinstalled.
I've been told [by somebody in Beyond 2000] that it wouldn't be a bad thing
if people on the list were to pop in some time to ask about it - they simply
want to gauge the demand for preinstalled linux.
