Default Hewlett-Packard to provide SuSE Linux certified Laptops

One of the biggest personal computer manufacturers in the world Hewlett Packard has said that they have no short-term plans to preload versions of the upcoming Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 on their notebook computers.

However, they would make it easier for interested customers to pick a suitable machine by certifying their products for this operating system.

The company said that they would be certifying SLED 10 for select notebooks, which includes the nx6310, nx6320, nc6320, nc2400, nx6315 and nx6325 models. This should be done before the end of the current year.

HP added that they are studying the market and see a lot of potential in this latest release of SuSE Linux from Novell. Novell is due to launch SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop next month and are targeting it at users wanting to shift from the Windows OS based products.

Lance Stevens, software product marketing manager for business PCs at HP said in a statement on this decision: “We have a thriving custom configuration business, where we will load any operating system the customer wants on our desktops.”
