Linux at Lowes

,----[ Quote ]
| Instead, I immediately recognized a Linux like Start button that looked 
| similar to the Xfce desktop that Xubuntu uses. 
| 
| I don't think the employee would have had a clue what Linux was or why I 
| would be curious, but I was. I'm willing to bet that computer maintenance 
| costs are extremely low at Lowes compared to Windows based businesses of the 
| same size. I'm sure they have some Windows boxes somewhere, but on the floor, 
| it looked Linux on almost every monitor I saw.    
| 
| Curious about how long they had been using Linux, I did a quick Google search 
| and found that I wasn't the only eagle eyed shopper spotting Linux at Lowes, 
| the subject has been kicked around for at least three or four years.
