More on Toronto's Linux-only Computer Store 145
bluethundr writes "The Register today is running a story about what we first thought (but thought incorrectly as it turns out) to be the world's first Linux-only computer store. Who knew that they were also running a Linux-powered car wash in the back? Heh."

The people who are running this store probably have other fish to fry (and cars to wash).

I did a little database search in our system and we sold the 1456VQH (ISA) a couple years back as our only ISA modem.
The description for the item said:
(Not a WinModem)
Card has Jumpered IRQ's, so you need to use the 'setserial' command to tell Linux what IRQ the card is on.
This is not to say that we never sold Linux-incompatible hardware. (Thank you for blaming the retailer for lack of drivers for Linux.) On occasion it did happen and caused frustration on our and the customer end.
Eventually it caused us to change the business strategy and forego any guarantees that items were Linux-compatible.
We started selling any hardware/software/books, stopped discriminating against Windows users and changed our domain to elx.com.au.
