+Hot on the heals of Dell's recent decision to [offer Ubuntu Linux on consumer laptops][2], DesktopLinux.com [reports][1] that Toshiba is considering a similar move. Initially such a move might be limited to the Italian market.
+
+According to DesktopLinux, Luigi Cattaneo, a manager in the company's Italy Computer Systems Division, says that with Acer and HP already controlling more than 50 percent of the Italian Windows laptop market, Toshiba may look to Linux as a way to boost sales.
+
+Although Toshiba has yet to formally announce anything, the Linux option would reportedly be available preloaded on the Tecra, Satellite, Portege, and Qosmio notebook lines.
+
+Thus far the U.S. division of Toshiba remains mum about possible Linux options.
