SDG Systems, a long-time partner of Trimble Mobile Computing Solutions, announced on February 2, 2012 that the rugged Yuma tablet computer is now available with the GNU/Linux operating system. The availability of Linux on the Yuma tablet enables the mobile use of Linux-based software, including popular geospatial applications such as GRASS and Quantum GIS.
Todd Blumer, President of SDG Systems, says their customers need a rugged computing platform that runs popular distributions of the Linux operating system, such as Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Netbook Edition. SDG offers other Linux distributions as well, subject to a minimum purchase agreement or an engineering fee.
