CITY—Hewlett-Packard
will start shipping some of its notebook and desktop computers with SUSE Linux
Enterprise Desktop 10 preinstalled later this year.

“We are really excited by this deal because of the power that the HP distribution
channel brings, the reach they have and their commitment to interoperability. I

conference.

SLED 10 recently started shipping on Dell and Lenovo boxes, and the company said at the time

and we will continue to try to get additional OEMs to prebundle SLED 10,” he
said.
