Dell announced today that it would begin offering Linux on its systems. “Dell has heard you. Our first step in this effort is offering Linux preinstalled on select desktop and notebook systems,” said a statement on its website.

The company currently offers Linux on its servers, but the option has been unavailable on consumer oriented systems. No information is available as to which desktops and notebooks will feature the OS-alternative, but more specific data is expected in the coming weeks.
