SAN DIEGO -- August 26, 2003 -- Based on their support of the Linux platform, Epson America Inc. is now part of a consumer resource center designed to help consumers find and buy Linux-friendly computers, printers, hardware and services. The site, www.LFriendly.com, features companies that support Linux on a range of their products or services and uses a custom search engine that instantaneously polls hundreds of online merchants to ensure that consumers get access to the best prices for their purchases. LFriendly.com can be used by OEMs looking to locate compatible hardware or by consumers looking to purchase computers or computer hardware at good prices.
"Top tier companies such as Epson (www.lindows.com/epson) realize the benefits of Linux on the desktop and proactively are getting behind Linux education early and offering their support," said Michael Robertson, chief executive officer of Lindows.com, Inc. a Linux-based company that offers Desktop Linux.
"Epson has been working with the open-source community as well as Linux distributors to support the printing and scanning needs of Linux users," said Mitch Kadish, senior product manager of connectivity products at Epson. "Having our products on Lfriendly.com is a continuation of that support. We want consumers to be able to easily find the full range of products that are available and compatible with their systems."
LFriendly.com showcases popular Linux-friendly hardware from brands like Epson, Sony, Philips, Canon, Samsung, and more. LFriendly.com also connects consumers to top vendors like Walmart.com, Office Depot, Best Buy, Buy.com, and Tech Depot.
Any computer user interested in Linux will be able to use Lfriendly.com to locate a Linux-compatible computer, ISP or peripheral. By referencing the many companies and products at LFriendly.com, Linux users will be assured a positive Plug & Play experience that has previously been challenging. To help users find what they need easily, LFriendly.com is arranged in the following categories: computer resellers, ISPs, CD-ROM drives, CD-RW drives, DVD drives, digital cameras, CPUs, hard drives, keyboards, mice, motherboards, modems, monitors, network cards, printers, scanners, sound cards, video cards and WiFi cards.
Lfriendly.com's 'Product Finder' searches hundreds of resellers to deliver price comparisons, product descriptions, technical details and user reviews for any of the thousands of products that LFriendly's visitors might want to purchase from the hardware listings at www.LFriendly.com.
Computer resellers and hardware manufacturers interested in being listed on LFriendly.com can make their requests to LFriendly@lindows.com.
