Red Hat again delays Linux software
SOFTWARE maker Red Hat, which had planned to introduce a new version of its Linux software for personal computers in August, said that the product won't be out until next month at the earliest.
The rival to Microsoft's Windows and Novell's Suse Linux, which Red Hat plans to sell in developing countries, had previously been pushed back to a September launch.
Chief executive Matthew Szulik said in an interview that the software maker is still working to translate the software into foreign languages, make sure it is compatible with different PC hardware and work out some issues relating to licensing of some of the software in the package.
