Lenovo Stops Selling Linux-Based Pcs Via The Web

While Dell seems to be madly and passionately in love with Linux, rival Lenovo is breaking things off… or at least refusing to take things any further via IM. Reportedly, the computer maker has decided it best to stop offering Linux-based machines via its online sales portal, though open-source fanatics can still snap up Linux-infused rigs through Lenovo’s own or partner direct sales teams. Ray Gorman, a spokesman for the company, noted that its “commitment to Linux has not changed,” and he continued on to say that “what has changed is that customers will no longer be able to order Lenovo ThinkPads and ThinkCentres with pre-installed Linux via the lenovo.com website.” Truthfully, there’s no bitterness with Linux here — online sales figures simply didn’t justify keeping ‘em on there. And you know, money talks.
