After strong pressure from open-source fans worldwide, Dell has added another territory to its Linux PC domain, launching two computer models for the British market with Ubuntu Linux pre-installed.
Dell has sent out a questionnaire to see if users are interested in desktop Linux, and which version of the open-source operating system they would like to use on Dell hardware.
Vmware has launched a new tool to test the performance of virtualised systems, which in the past has been difficult to pin down despite the benefits of virtualisation.
Dell has acknowledged that 83,000 users have urged it to sell PCs with Linux pre-installed, but it has fallen short of accepting their suggestion.
Microsoft, Citrix, Novell and Sun Microsystems all made announcements around virtualisation overnight.
Marketing director Paul Salazar admits there have been plenty of hiccups along the way but says Red Hat is now working hard to please the open-source community and investors alike.
