Dell will sell more models of Linux PCs
Unable to hide the satisfaction of the market demand for Linux computers, Dell has just decided to offer 3 more new open source operating system installation models. This information has just been revealed by Mark Shuttleworth, the father of the Linux version of Ubuntu, to the press yesterday.
" It is clear that Dell's interest in Linux computers has not stopped here. There will be many more products coming out in the near future ."
However, Dell's representative declined to comment on Shuttleworth's disclosure, citing the company's policy not to allow " discussion of upcoming products ".
Despite this, she confirmed that Dell was very pleased with the client's response to the Linux computer.
" Open source customers are not only pro-Linux experts, but also ordinary users, first getting acquainted with a non-Microsoft product ."

Among open source operating systems, Linux is the most popular and is also considered to be Microsoft's biggest rival.
" Sales of Ubuntu computers are about to fulfill their goals ," Shuttleworth added. Shuttleworth-like companies make money from selling custom, upgraded versions of Linux, then providing additional maintenance and technical support.
There are about two dozen different Linux versions, available for all types of computers from PCs to mainframes and mobile devices.
The fact that Linux started working with Dell was a "brutal win" of open source software, although Ubuntu could not meet HP's product portfolio and the other top five PC vendors, in addition to Dell.
