The world's largest Linux

of Linux globally in

desktop targeting primarily
small business users will be
available on cheap whitebox
Intel PCs and, according to
Red Hat, will not try to be a

The new Linux desktop
platform, called Red Hat
Global Desktop, has been
announced on
Red Hat's
site and promises that the
desktop will have wide global
distribution through Intel's
channel of white box system
builders.
The Red Hat strategy
contrasts markedly with
Dell's push to offer Ubuntu
Linux to consumers on some of
its desktop and notebook
models in a limited release to
the US market. Red Hat is not
targeting consumers but small
business users and local
government agencies who want
to keep the cost of hardware

This style can be

Embedded folder and the Embedded.theme to be copied to %systemroot%resourcesthemes and the wallpaper in its original format and size.
