Lindows.com yesterday unveiled the latest version of its Laptop Edition operating system, claiming it to be the first Linux distribution to provide full support for Intel's Centrino mobile technology.
The Linux firm said that its operating system would bring down the cost of pre-built Centrino systems by offering a rival to Microsoft Windows.

"By pre-loading LindowsOS Laptop Edition, Centrino laptops will now be available to consumers at lower prices due to the value-inherent nature of desktop Linux," Lindows.com said in a statement.
The company claimed that Linux support for Centrino laptops has formed the most common request from OEMs.
"We're happy to give OEMs the support they have been asking for in order to offer their consumers better prices," said Michael Robertson, chief executive at Lindows.com.
"Centrino laptops are currently one of the most popular computer systems available, and pre-loading LindowsOS Laptop Edition will narrow the digital divide, making them more affordable than ever before."
Centrino laptops pre-loaded with LindowsOS Laptop Edition will hit the market in 30 to 45 days, Lindows.com said.
