The Oakland, California-based PC vendor has brought Linux-based PCs to Wal-Mart with some of the leading names in desktop Linux, including Linspire Inc, MandrakeSoft SA, and Novell Inc’s SUSE Linux, and has now added Xandros to that list.
New York-based Xandros’s Desktop Deluxe software is available preinstalled on four different Microtel PCs, with prices ranging from $199 to $598. The PCs come with a free subscription to the Xandros Networks news and update service.
Microtel PCs are also currently available with Sun Microsystems Inc’s Linux-based Java Desktop System with prices from $318 to $398, and Linspire’s eponymous operating system, from $318 to $348.
