The head of Toshiba’s Italian division says the company is thinking about giving customers the option of ordering Tecra, Satellite, Portege and Qosmio notebooks with Linux preinstalled.
Toshiba’s Italy country manager Luigi Cattaneo stated recently that one way for them to move ahead in laptop sales would be to offer systems pre-installed with Linux. This would allow them to sell notebooks in the 500-Euro range.
The news comes at a tim when Dell is preparing to offer computers pre-loaded with Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. There’s no word on whether Toshiba would plan to offer laptops running Linux in the U.S. as well.
