Dell India has announced it will soon
launch personal computers based on the free Linux distro, Ubuntu. Dell
has entered into a partnership with Canonical Ltd., the sponsor of the
Ubuntu project, to sell netbooks and laptops with the open source
software.
According to Canonical CEO Jane Silber, Ubuntu-based devices, including the Dell Inspiron 14R and 15R, will be available in the market from this week. Also, a number of new Dell
models with Ubuntu are slated to release this year. Dell currently
sells PCs loaded with Microsoft's Windows operating system, which is a
paid software. While talking to the media, Silber said the partnership
will help the company increase penetration in the country.
Sameer Garde, President, Dell India,
said, “With Ubuntu, these machines offer our customers a compelling
mobile or in-home computing proposition, with the benefit of Dell
quality and security. I am confident that they will prove attractive to
both home and business users.”
According to Garde, the Ubuntu-based PCs
will help push mobile computing in the country. “The Indian government
has been fairly supportive of the vision behind Ubuntu. The Supreme
Court of India is using the software in 20,000 desktops,” he adds.
The launch is aimed at educational institutions to push growth. Silber reveals the University of Delhi is already using the software in 10,000 desktops and various Assam schools are also using it.
