“Amidst a flurry of moves made by IBM to assert its presence in
the expanding Linux operating system (OS) market, Dell Computer
this week announced several initiatives with, apparently, much the
same intention.”
“Dell, who had made an equity investment in Linux leader Red Hat
Software in April, has established a dedicated section of its
Gigabuys.com online store where customers can shop for
Linux-related development tools and software packages. Purchases
can be made either as stand-alone transactions or in conjunction
with their Dell desktop, workstation or server acquisitions.”
