Yes, Bucyrus is pretty much BFE!!!  It is about an hour south of KC. 
 The closest computer outlet with Linux stuff that I know of is 
Microcenter at 97th and Metcalf.  (Take US 69 due north about an hour, 
bear right on Metcalf and continue north for about 30 blocks.)

They have some software and a few toys, unfortunately, it is the best 
selection of Linux stuff I have seen.  (Quite a few programs, some 
stuffed pengiuns and some hats.)
