There was a story a while back on Slashdot about taking your live CD distro
into the store, and trying it out on machines you might want to buy.
Of course the sales clerks, managers at these establishments would have to
go along with your idea.
How many of you have, or would like to, take your DSL CD into the store, and
"see how it boots and runs" on the various computers?
Wouldn't it be great to put up a nice DSL desktop of a few machines, and then
leave them that way? I know I could do that, ie, put Firefox up on the screen, and
not have any of my personal settings left behind.

I'm not advocating that we become activists, we are simply going in the store
"looking to buy" in the eyes of Store Management. That means showing up in
decent clothing, etc. looking like one could spend some $$ there.

NOt a bad idea, but I can almost guarantee that a store owner isnt going to allow you to just slap in something on the computer and test it...after all "if you break it you bought it"
