Dell expands Linux PC sales to Europe, China
Dell Inc said on Tuesday it has decided to expand sales of consumer personal computers loaded with the Linux operating system to the United Kingdom, France, Germany and China.
The world's No. 2 PC maker started selling Ubuntu Linux PCs to consumers in May in a program that was limited to the United States. Ubuntu is a free version of the software.
Linux software, the main rival to Microsoft Corp's market-dominating Windows, has been one of the fastest-growing types of software on business computers over the past decade.
But it has yet to gain a foothold in the consumer market, where Windows sits on more than 90 percent of personal computers.
