Lenovo Preloading SUSE Linux on ThinkPad

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the tux-to-go dept.

An anonymous reader writes "For years, the holy grail of the Linux desktop has been to get a major computer vendor to commit to preloading a Linux desktop. It's finally happened! Lenovo has made a deal with Novell to preload SUSE Linux 10 on its ThinkPad T60p mobile workstation. Ironically, in June, Lenovo was in hot-water with Linux fans because an executive had said that the company would no longer support Linux on its ThinkPad line. But the company did a quick about-turn. Who knows, maybe Mr. Dell will finally get the message, too?"

    That's because it saves them the overhead of paying for Windows when their consumers will just pirate it anyway

    Faster. Sleeker. Cooler (in style and temp). Why would you want a Stinkpad running Linsux when you can have God's own MacBook Pro running the greatest OS ever made, OS X?
