“Dell Computer is expected to announce a program in the near
future under which the company will more actively sell and support
versions of the Linux operating system to its workstation and
server customers.”

“The deal will be similar to a program announced earlier today

workstations. HP will begin to market a version of the Linux OS
from Red Hat Software on certain models of its NetServer line.”

“Dell currently bundles Windows NT as a standard feature on its
workstations.”
