American shoppers don't love Linux
According to the Associated Press, the mindbogglingly enormous American chain of stores, Wal-Mart, has decided to stop selling Linux-based computers.
The company had been conducting a trial during which it sold Linux-based desktop PCs made by Everex for $199 (£99).
A spokesperson is quoted as explaining that "This really wasn't what our customers were looking for", although she also explained that the company sold out of the $199 computers before deciding not to buy more.
Wal-Mart will continue to sell Linux-based computers online.
