Gateway to Sell Servers With Linux Software
From Bloomberg News
Gateway Inc., a personal computer maker that has had losses in 11 of the last 12 quarters, will sell server computers with Linux software and resell data-storage machines made by Hitachi Ltd. to boost sales to businesses.
The average unit price for the storage machines is $50,000, Poway, Calif.-based Gateway said. The servers, used by companies to run networks and Web sites, will use a version of the Linux operating system developed by Suse Linux, which has agreed to be acquired by Novell Inc.
Gateway shares dropped 7 cents to $4.50 on the NYSE.
