Sun Details Linux Desktops To Compete With Windows | |
|
||
| Time: 06:20 EST/11:20 GMT | News Source: TechWeb | Posted By: Alex Harris | ||

Sun Microsystems, which earlier this summer made its first major commitment to Linux on the server, has unveiled a new Linux-driven desktop computer it believes can compete with rival Microsoft. Sun said it will initially target the machine -- which also run its StarOffice application, Gnome desktop, Mozilla browser, and Evolution open source e-mail client -- at users who don't need all the functionality of a full PC. The system will also make use of Java Smart Cards for logging users on and off the machine, while maintaining personal settings. The systems are due to ship early next year. The systems would run Linux on Intel processors, taking advantage of low-cost PC processors but making an end-run around the Windows desktop and related apps. Sun execs said they will outsource production of the Sun-branded PCs, preferring to keep its manufacturing systems churning out its own server platforms. | ||
