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."

    I'm sorry, but why does the top of that article say, "Dell recommends Windows XP Professional"?

    What kind of mixed messages are they sending there?

    It may be just me but I think that Redhat has totally lost the plot since they stopped producing a desktop distribution.

    Suse certainly seem to be gaining ground quickly and I think one of the main reasons may be the complete range of products from Suse Personal through to Enterprise and without the restrictive licencing that RH have tried to impose.

    You are probably right however the real volume market is on the desktop. The desktop is what drives the user applications and it's user apps sold in bulk that generate major revenues.
