HP To Sell PCs With Mandrake 9.1

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday July 2, 2003 @11:25AM from the enticing-mandragora dept.

theoddball writes "HP just announced a new PC model (HP Compaq d220) that's available preloaded with Windows or Mandrake 9.1. The machine appears to be targeted to business users, although it's on the lower-end of the scale - specs are here. Mandrake also has a press release announcing the deal, which will grow to include four other HP models. Is this a sign that top tier manufacturers are taking Linux more seriously, or at least seeing a profitable niche?" We commented on MandrakeSoft's status update yesterday.

2.0 GHz is low end of the spectrum? I'm still running a 400MHz PII as my primary!

  That paperclip needs a lot of CPU cycles.
