Dell is now selling Red Flag Software Co. Ltd.'s Linux on its PowerEdge servers in China, the company announced Thursday.

Red Flag, a joint venture between Beijing Founder Electronics, the Institute of Software Academia Sinica Sino-Software System, and Compaq China, is the largest-selling Linux distribution in China, where it's most often dropped into desktops by Chinese PC makers.

Red Flag was certified for use on a select number of Dell PowerEdge servers in early November, said the Texas-based PC maker; customers with Dell's Premier Enterprise Support Services can now get Red Flag software support directly from Dell.
