HP Starts Pushing Desktop Linux

Posted by michael on from the first-hit's-free dept.

iswm writes "HP has supposedly been selling MandrakeSoft Linux on the desktop for a while but has been so quiet about it that for all intents and purposes it's been a stealth operation. That's all about to change, with two new Linux desktops ready for rolling out by HP to the North American SMB market, both boxes to be sold with Mandrake Linux."

  1. Don't trust HP. by DAldredge · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    This is the same hp the bought 70 Million in GS5's while laying off thousands.

    This is the same hp that is forcing it's workforce to take vacation during Christmas 2004 because the company will close for a week to save money.

    This is the same hp that, while bidding on large US goverment contracts, makes statements like 'American's have no God given rights to jobs'

    Don't trust them, almost everything HP does is for the enrichment of the CEO and other highlevel execs. The workes and shareholders come last.
