Ubuntu-based PC Maker Reports Huge Growth

      by Wyatt Walter

As a bright spot in our doom-and-gloom economic news, Ubuntu-based PC maker System76 reported 61% growth in PC sales for Q1 of 2009 over Q1 of last year. And, while other manufacturers are preparing themselves for the launch of Windows 7, System76 is working on pushing some of the big new features of Ubuntu 9.04 which will become available at the end of the month.

Features that System76 is counting on in Ubuntu’s version 9.04 will include Active Directory membership support, faster boot time, and better external monitor support. System76 is hoping that these features will help bring Ubuntu, specifically Ubuntu systems built by System76, into both small and large businesses. System76 has also reported that it is working on a netbook.
