Lenovo to Preload Linux
August 9, 2007 by Vincent
Lenovo and Novell have announced a recent agreement to preload some Thinkpads with Linux while Lenovo will provide user support for the operating system. Which is actually new to Lenovo as they previously did not offer any support for Windows when that was loaded on their devices.
Lenovo will be using SUSE Linux 10 for their T models near the end of this year. Although they have not yet announced a price on units loaded with Linux. This will be a little different from Dell preloading Ubuntu though, as Ubuntu is a freeware version of Linux and SUSE is not. Although those familiar with SUSE will be more than happy I'm sure to catch these notebooks.
