More Linux desktops on the way | |
|
||
| Time: 00:12 EST/05:12 GMT | News Source: ZDNet | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||

Entering a market that has attracted the likes of Sun Microsystems and raised an alarm at Microsoft, Penguin Computing announced Thursday a new desktop PC for businesses that runs on the open-source Linux operating system. The computer manufacturer, best known for its Linux servers and workstations, introduced the Niveus 1X Linux desktop, which offers a choice between Intel's Celeron and Pentium 4 processors. It is available now directly from Penguin for a price starting at about $700 without a monitor. Penguin said that with the machine, it hopes to address a movement among some companies, educational institutions and government agencies to use Linux desktops, as opposed to desktops running Microsoft's proprietary Windows OS, in specific areas, such as business call centers. Sun Microsystems announced a similar move toward that market last August. Penguin plans to begin offering its Linux desktops in 2003. | ||

| I think many small to mid sized businesses will have fits with integration of the linux systems into their existing network infrastructure. Especially if they're running, say, and NT domain all on NTFS. Linux read/write support for NTFS is flaky and has caused many a nuked file (as well as dead machines.) |

ha. The "free" OS system costs almost 20% more than a system at Dell.
LOL. |

| And it costs more to maintain with the greater number of security bulletins being released for Linux systems than Windows. :-) |
