A trip to LinuxWorld San Francisco 2003

In the article you said that Dell installs Linux on 30% of their sales.
Could you confirm that that is correct? 30% of the units Dell ships
run Linux? That seems high but if it is true, that's fantastic.

I could definitely believe that if it were server sales.

There's no way 30% of their desktops are linux.

Yes. Could you clarify if that's servers only, or servers and desktops. Also if it's sales to business only or all sales? That would make the number much more meaninfull. Thanks.
