This is not the first time Dell has offered Redhat Linux workstations: http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/corp/pres...

Hopefully they will stick with it this time, even if once again the sales are poor.

Absolutely. That's why I referenced Michael Dell's Keynote at LinuxWorld. He gives the keynote and then Linux disappears off their web site. I have written about this before. http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/32080/

But, Michael has handed the reins of the company over to Kevin Rollins and that's what is different this time.

We just want to make sure that Dell goes beyond offering a workstation. Linux could win big if Dell were to let all their consumer products work together with the Linux desktops and Laptops.

Some interesting linux companies are doing this as well. I recently came across a company called Uni-Fi Technologies. The company says it sells "High Quality Consumer Linux Products" linux is a different beast with distributions updates and so on. When I had a windows computer they could barely support that let alone a Linux distro. I would be interested to see how many companies will specialize in just offering linux products.
