Linux Laptop Project

Bill Moss

This project has changed to the

Clemson Linux Initiative

The Pilot Laptop Program of the College of Engineering and Science at Clemson University began in the fall of 1998 and will enter its fourth year in the fall of 2001. Dell has been the laptop vendor for the project for all four years. Dell has a partnership with Red Hat and most Dell laptops, desktops, workstations, and servers can now be ordered with Red Hat Linux factory installed. As a result of this partnership, Dell hardware is well supported in the most recent Red Hat distributions. During the first three years of the pilot, a number of laptop students and faculty have experimented with Linux and these numbers are growing. The purpose of this project is to explore the extent to which Linux might provide a reasonable alternative to MS Windows within our college computing environment.
