“Dell Computer focused its efforts to sell Linux-based
computers, adding a Web page just for those machines and Linux
software to its online store.”

“The Web site offers a link to a site that gathers together all
the Linux models in one place instead of having them scattered
across several different sites for workstations, servers, and
desktops.”

“The site also has a link to the Linux software available at

peripherals. So far, Dell sells word processors, office suites,
programming tools, and utilities.”
