Dell (Nasdaq:DELL) has installed Red Hat Linux 7.2 on its entire
line of Dell Precision workstations and Dell PowerEdge servers,
including the PowerEdge 1500SC server, which was introduced for small
business customers.
Dell Precision workstations running Red Hat Linux are an ideal
production and development platform offering the most popular desktop
user interfaces, and development compilers and interpreters. Red Hat
Linux on Dell PowerEdge servers offers a cost effective networking
infrastructure and development option for many of today's most
common business applications. Dell also has worked closely with Red Hat
to provide support in Red Hat Linux 7.2 for Broadcom's Secure
Sockets Layer (SSL) accelerator card, available as a low-cost security
option on most PowerEdge servers.
For customers who develop their own Linux image using Red Hat Linux
7.2 or another Linux distribution, Dell offers Custom Factory
Integration to install the software on Dell OptiPlex desktop and Dell
Latitude notebook computers.
Red Hat Linux 7.2 is immediately available on Dell PowerEdge
servers and will be available on Dell Precision workstations later this
year.
