578690 2007-08-09 09:38:00 Dell's Linux PC launch has gone belly up as the computer supplier admitted it has been hit by "gremlins".
Dell said on Tuesday that it would launch two PCs with a pre-installed Linux operating system today. The PCs will be Dell's first foray into offering Linux-based machines. All its PCs previously sold in the UK ran Windows operating systems. But, after promising that the systems would be available today, Dell faced ongoing technical problems.

I hope they get the issues sorted as it would be great for a big PC seller like Dell to put Linux out there in the face of the general public.
