LINUX CONTINUES MAINSTREAM ACCEPTANCE
Major Reseller Now Offers Pre-Loaded Linux Workstations
RALEIGH, N.C., Feb. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the country's top marketers of
OS/2 hardware and software products today introduced Atlas, a pre-loaded
Linux workstation designed for individuals and organizations that need a
system offering more stability and configurability than other popular
operating systems.
Indelible Blue, Inc., the country's #1 reseller of OS/2 and an IBM/Lotus
direct channel partner, broadened its Linux selection today with the
announcement of Atlas, a workstation pre-loaded with Red Hat Linux version
5.2. The workstation enhances Indelible Blue's continually growing line of
commercially available Linux application software and development tools.
The name Atlas comes from the character in Greek mythology that carries the
sky on his shoulders, representing great strength and stability. Indelible
Blue's system is designed to carry the weight of most any computing task
with the highest degree of stability and performance. Preloaded with Red Hat
Linux version 5.2, Atlas comes in a variety of Intel processor and hard
drive configurations (IDE and SCSI), and all models come standard with 128
megs of synchronous DRAM, 40x CD-ROM, sound card, and an 8 meg Matrox
Millenium video card.
Prices start at just under $1,300. For businesses or individuals requiring
more than one computing environment, multiple operating system pre-loads are
available (Windows 98/Linux, Windows NT/Linux, and OS/2/Linux), leveraging
Indelible Blue's years of experience in custom OS configurations.
Future Linux hardware plans include servers configured for specific duties
such as firewall and IP routing. Indelible Blue is also considering pre-
loading Linux on IBM ThinkPads as soon as additional hardware support is
available. More information on Atlas is located at www.indelible-
blue.com/hardware.
Better Platform, Better Performance
The addition of the Atlas workstation into Indelible Blue's Linux
selection allows businesses of any size to easily target or migrate systems
to the Linux platform, and reap the undisputed benefits of this flexible,
powerful, scalable, and reliable enterprise desktop and server operating
system.
"Our goal with Atlas was to build a Linux system that is ready to run out of
the box. With Atlas, you can begin work immediately instead of having to
work on the operating system itself," says Buck Bohac, president of
Indelible Blue, in Raleigh, NC. "I also feel comfortable saying that we are
probably the only company offering OS/2 and Linux pre-loaded on the same
machine."
