Dell: No shelter against SCO suits (News.com)

This is again a stupid ambiguous position about Linux that
Dell becomes renowned for. No clear Linux policy means less
customers in the server market, which becomes very important.
For example a company such as Transtec advertises selling
over 80% of servers with Linux.

As an illustration we had recently very similar offers
for a Beowulf cluster of 24 dual Xeon units from:
Dell, a small PC shop, Transtec and Sun Microsystem.
Dell had a very nice price+hardware offer but wasn't
retained for two reasons:
1) Lack of a clear Linux committment,
2) Poor hardware support record.
