I've seen Mandrake, Redhat, Debian, Slackware, SuSE and Caldera in
Borders. I've seen some of them in Barnes and Noble, But I rarely go
there and don't remember what they were or know if they carry any of
them now. I saw a couple of releases a long time ago at Waldenbooks, but
I'm sure they discontinued selling them. (They might still have Perl
books though.) I regularly see Redhat, Mandrake and SuSE in Microcenter.
I've seen Redhat and Mandrake in Best buy, but I haven't seen Mandrake
lately. I've also seen Mandrake and at least one version of Redhat in
Walmart. Not in the past few months, though.

Once upon a time Microcenter had TurboLinux, Corel, Mandrake, Redhat,
Caldera and several *BSDs. Any more, it's Redhat, Suse and sometimes
Mandrake. They still have several other things available, just not too
many releases.
