Dell's Linux desktops have teething difficulties
No that Dell has started selling Linux desktop and laptop computers, the company is trying its hardest to prevent businesses from buying any of them.
At least that was what a user by the name of Cosborn72 reported on an Ubuntu user forum. As a small business, he tried calling his regular Dell contact. But the small business section doesn't offer any Linux desktops and forced him to visit the "home and home office" department instead.
Last time we checked, Dell's market share was still slipping against HP's. Seems like the company still needs all the sales it can get, and shouldn't get too religious about businesses slipping in the consumer aisles of its warehouses.
