LINUX news......Intel to Make Linux-Based Web Products By BRIDGE NEWS AN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5 -- The Intel Corporation disclosed plans today to market its own brand of Internet access appliances that use the Linux operating system, the open-source competitor to Microsoft's proprietary Windows. Intel, a maker of microprocessors, said the devices would take many forms, including screen telephones and computer-like boxes. All of the new products will use the Intel Celeron chip that powers many low-cost computers. Intel, which is based in Santa Clara, Calif., plans to sell the devices to Internet service providers and telecommunications companies that will then market them to consumers. The cost of the hardware to service providers will vary, probably from about $300 to $700, while the cost of the devices to consumers will depend on how the service providers structure their pricing.
