The chipmaker is to give 160,000 of its sales channel partners access to software kits that make pre-installation of the open source OS easier
Intel, which launched a programme in November to make it easier for Chinese and Indian computer makers to sell Linux on PCs, has now made the program global, the company said on Tuesday. That means that about 160,000 sales channel partners will get access to Intel's software kits for Linux, which include supporting software, scripts to automate installation and compatibility-checking tools, Intel said.
"The demand for Linux on the desktop, while still small, is growing and represents an opportunity for Intel's channel network," Intel spokesman Scott McLaughlin said in a statement. The software kit works with Linux from Red Hat, Novell, Red Flag and China Standard Software. Intel's corresponding programme for Microsoft Windows is much better developed, but Intel said it will improve the Linux kit.
