HP South Africa confirms Linux laptop plans
HP South Africa has confirmed the release of it's Linspire-based notebook range. Since Tectonic first reported on HP's plans for a Linux-based notebook range in February, we can confirm that Tom Hoyt, Insternational sales manager of Linspire, has been in South Africa meeting with local businesses, including HP, and is very enthusiastic about the opportunties to establish Linspire in South Africa.
According to HP's Sean Owen-Jones, initial discussions suggested the Ubuntu operating system, but after much experimentation HP settled on the Linspire operating system, with its performance, features and support offering being a key differentiator.
"Of the many versions of Linux available we found Linspire amongst the most simple to use," says Owen-Jones. "We were also attracted by the extensive software management tools, such as the Linspire 'click 'n run' software management suite."
