does stealing it count? because that would be a boxed copy of redhat linux from best buy in the late 90s/early 2000s. yes, i found a way to steal linux

This one trick Richard stallman and gnu neck beards don't want you to know

Always blew my mind at CompUSA that they had lil security boxes around the $30 games, but $200 (or however much it was) Red Hat was just chillin.

Because they knew the type of customer who would want it wouldn't walk out without paying for it.

Specifically, Bill Gates. He'd buy them all so that the only OS left on the shelf was Windows.
