O. T. Dell discontinues Linux-run personal computers The Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas (August 3, 2001 09:40 p.m. EDT nandotimes.com) - In light of low demand, Dell Computer Corp. will no longer sell desktop or notebook computers preinstalled with the Linux operating system. The Round Rock-based company will continue to offer the Red Hat Linux system to its corporate customers and in its workstation and server lines, though, Dell spokesman Jim Mazzola said Thursday. "Not that many customers are using Linux for their desktop systems," Mazzola said. "We're a customer-demand driven company, so as we see customer demand in certain areas, that's were we opt to sell certain products or services." Dell also factory installs and supports the numerous Microsoft Windows systems and the server operating system Novell NetWare. Last June, Dell announced it was expanding efforts with software maker Red Hat Inc. to market Linux, an alternative operating system to Windows that can be downloaded for free over the Internet. Red Hat is one of a number of companies that sell commercial versions of Linux, which include support and technical manuals.
