In what may be the first testimony by a hardware vendor in India of its
backing for the Linux open source software, the world's largest infotech
company IBM Corporation today announced the launch of its Linux desktop in
India - IBM NetVista A30, priced at Rs 39,900.

The NetVista A30 Linux desktop, targeted at the small and medium business
and home offices, will be launched in non-metros such as Lucknow, Patna,
Raipur, Nagpur, Bhopal and Indore.

It is for the first time that a commercial desktop vendor has introduced an
entry-level desktop that is certified on Linux.

The NetVista A30 Linux desktop comes with a 3-year hardware warranty and
would be sold through IBM's network of business partners.

Alok Ohrie, vice-president, personal computing division, IBM India, said,
"The Linux desktop aims to support the business requirements of the small
office and home office and SME segments in non-metros."
