(InfoWorld) - Linspire has signed up a company headed by a former Microsoft executive to distribute its desktop Linux operating system in the Middle East and Africa. Business International will offer the English version of the Linspire Five-0 operating system to customers in at least 17 countries, Linspire said in a statement. The company is headed by Mohamad Jarrar, who worked at Microsoft from 1997 until last year as a business development manager expanding the company's business and its partner network in the Middle East. As part of the deal, Business International will also build a channel program that will enable OEM computer makers to offer PCs with Linspire preinstalled. The deal will see Business International handle distribution in Algeria, Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt, India, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates and Yemen, Linspire said. Next year, the two companies will start development work on an Arabic version of the operating system. The announcement was timed to coincide with the Gitex Dubai 2006 IT show that ends Wednesday at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
