“Open source operating system (OS), Linux, took a step on to the
corporate desktop with news that Dell in the US is offering the
free software on its Dimension desktops from October, and on
Inspiron laptops by the end of the year.”
“The decision marks the first big step away from the server and
high-end workstation market for the Linux OS.”
“Steve Smith, alliances manager for workstations for EMEA at
Dell, said: “This week in Europe we are shipping two Poweredge
server models, two desktop models from the Precision range and the
GX1 workstation, but that’s all for the moment.”
