Canonical Chases Deal to Ship Ubuntu Server OS 151

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Wednesday October 10, 2007 @05:31PM from the customer-feedback-at-work dept.

Kurtz'sKompund writes "Canonical, the company that supports Ubuntu Linux, is trying to work out a deal with hardware vendors such as Dell to make Ubuntu available pre-installed on servers. 'Canonical, despite obviously supporting such a deal, had little to do with Dell's decision. Dell said it was merited by customer demand. Likewise, the decision of whether Ubuntu Server will ship pre-installed will be determined the same way.'"

Dell said it was merited by customer demand.
