In a surprise move today Dell is launching its very first Linux-based desktop lineup in Europe. There has been no announcement when or if Dell is going to offer Linux-based desktops in the US. The version of Linux that will be used is none other than Linspire (Lindows).
Computer maker Dell Inc. said Tuesday that it launched its first line of Linux-based desktop computers in Europe through its partnership with diversified energy company Questar Corp. The Dell Optiplex desktop is targeted to businesses, educational institutions and computer users seeking a space-saving, upgradeable system. The computers will be shipped by Dell, pre-installed with the English or Italian version of Linspire 4.5 operating system and include Dell's gold technical support.
