Dell Teams Up With SUSE

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the dude-you're-getting-a-linux dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Dell's Linux blog points to the news that Dell and SUSE have teamed up to start offering SUSE Enterprise Linux installed directly on Dell servers. Looks like Dell isn't just a Red Hat shop anymore."

    But don't they know the TCO of Windows is much lower than Linux' TCO?
    The customers don't want Linux. And it's unsafe. Only hippies would use it. Dammit.

    For $175 per single-CPU server annual maintenance subscription and $269 for a dual CPU subscription, Dell and Novell offer Linux customers additional choice on Dell's award-winning PowerEdge 1850, 2800 and 2850 servers.

    I'm not sure understand the reasoning there. It'll cost Dell 54% more to support a dual-CPU box, is that it?

    Oh, I see. Dual support desks, dual techs, dual phone bills (to India and Utah).
