| Dell to offer Red Hat 7.2 preinstalled on workstations |
Nov. 19, 2001
Austin, Texas -- (press release excerpt) -- Dell today announced that it will offer factory installation of Red Hat Linux 7.2 on its entire line of Dell Precision workstations and Dell PowerEdge servers, including the PowerEdge 1500SC server, which was introduced today for small business customers.
Dell Precision workstations running Red Hat Linux are an ideal production and development platform offering the most popular desktop user interfaces, and development compilers and interpreters. Red Hat Linux on Dell PowerEdge servers offers a cost effective networking infrastructure and development option for many of today's most common business applications. Dell also has worked closely with Red Hat to provide support in Red Hat Linux 7.2 for Broadcom's Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) accelerator card, available as a low-cost security option on most PowerEdge servers.
For customers who develop their own Linux image using Red Hat Linux 7.2 or another Linux distribution, Dell offers Custom Factory Integration to install the software on Dell OptiPlex desktop and Dell Latitude notebook computers.
Red Hat Linux 7.2 is immediately available on Dell PowerEdge servers and will be available on Dell Precision workstations later this year.
