IBM unveils Linux desktop in India (ZDNet)
[Posted June 3, 2003 by ris]
ZDNet
covers the
IBM Linux PC in India, an offering aimed at small to medium-sized
businesses and home offices in India's secondary cities. "
Despite
the use of the open-source Linux operating system, which is cheaper to buy
than a Microsoft Windows license, the IBM Linux PC will still be priced on
the high side, at about 39,000 rupees ($850) including taxes, said a report
in the news daily The Times of India. IBM was unable to furnish more
details about what sort of technical support would be given, the Linux
distribution used or why the price was so high."
