Wow, since I have been using Linux myself I have been noticing just how popular the Open Source Operating System has become.
Today I received news from a friend (via Twitter) that HP announced with Novell that it will be now pre-loading Suse on its small Compaq model dc5850 desktop PC designed for the small and medium-size business market.
In a departure from its previous policy and the practice of most PC vendors, HP won’t charge extra for preloading SuSE Linux on the machines, which it sells for prices starting at $520.
I think it is a great thing that is happening for the Linux community. Finally one of the big main stream computer distributers is making a move to help push the Open Source distribution out to the public.
