Another hardware vendor opting for Linux

Hewlett-Packard and Redhat comes together to launch Desktop PC with Redhat Linux OS. Action takes place in Australia, HP’s dx2250 model PC was chosen as a hardware with AMD Athlon 64 X2 / Athlon 64/ Sempron CPUs. The price is around AUD$600 which is ~USD$490, since I live and work in Malaysia that’s ~RM 1,600! However, I’m not sure if it includes the monitor or not.

I couldn’t find much information regarding this but this is a great news. Not only Dell is shipping Linux preloaded but HP also has stepped in. Not long ago Lenovo also confirmed shipment of Thinkpads loaded with Suse Linux Enterprise Desktops.

My two cents: I am really happy to say vendors adopting choices and going for Linux. I think Linux has proven itself on the server side and now time for the desktops!
