Compaq to serve up Linux bundling, support plan Jumping fully onto the freeware bandwagon, Compaq Computer Corp. is about to ship and offer support for Linux servers. Next month, Compaq and Red Hat Software Inc. plan to announce a deal to deliver Red Hat Linux Version 5.2 preloaded on Compaq servers, according to sources close to the companies. Compaq will also offer 24-by-7 service and support for the Linux-based servers, the sources said. Compaq (CPQ) now offers Linux on its servers only upon request, so a formal bundling strategy from the world's largest PC server vendor is a big step up for the open-source Unix operating system. While many IT managers have been adopting and supporting Linux on their own, backing from hardware vendors has been limited. But that's changing, with Compaq on board and IBM and Dell Computer Corp. also offering custom Linux systems. zdnet.com Best of luck. Linux ... the best things in life are FREE!
