Not long ago I reported that Everex would be selling $200 Linux-based “gPCs.” Now Slashdot reports that Wal-Mart’s online store is sold out. Just look at the reviews on the Wal-Mart site! Most of the ones I read do seem to be from tech-savvy people, though.
Novell, the company behind SUSE Linux, has announced that Dell will begin selling computers with their SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop* operating system pre-installed later this year in China.
Dell has been selling computers with Ubuntu pre-installed for a while now and this expansion of their Linux offerings seems to show that they believe there is a significant demand for Linux on desktops beyond just Ubuntu.
*Novell is best know for three products: SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED), SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), and OpenSUSE. The first two are commercial, the third is not.
