- schestowitz, on 10/10/2007, -1/+44Dell, Lenovo, Epson, Toshiba, Acer... and now H-P.
Linux is taking over the OEMs as a choice. Excellent news. Let's see how/if H-P advertises it. - srg13, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15I'm looking into either buying an HP or a Mac laptop sometime next year. If HP comes out with a preloaded Linux laptop, I'll probably go for that!
- AttilaD, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12They wouldn't sell a system that didn't have drivers for all its hardware.
Not twice, anyway. - Utopian, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13oi oi oi!
- shrewduser, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10aussie aussie aussie!
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11Dugg, but hesitantly. Hardware manufacturers need to hurry up and make a lot better drivers. While it's great Linux is being distributed on new PC's, I don't want to it to make Linux look bad because of ***** drivers.
- Bicep, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Speaking of Hardware drivers... I just loaded up fedora core on an hp Compaq nc6120 and everything (wireless, sound, all devices) works perfectly without any further configuration!! This was an even better experience then Kubuntu Feisty for me because when I first loaded it on this same pc I had to fiddle with the Intel Pro 2200BG wireless adapter drivers to get it to work properly. Linux is simply amazing, and more so everyday!!
- tdgx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Nice to see that HP is bringing Linux to the regular desktop at a reasonable price, they have been offering RedHat on their workstations for many years already.
- evilregis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4Feisty installed amazingly on my HP dv9200. Wireless, sound, built-in webcam, touch-sensitive volume controls all worked out-of-the-box. Works wonderfully.
- BHSPitMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I'm a little confused; is this offering aimed at their home consumer target, or is it only offered to business deployments? If it's the latter, then I don't really see what the news is.
- LondonDude, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3It appears that the big OEMs are seeing Linux as a serious alternative now that Microsoft's leading operating system seems to be so buggy.
I'm surprised one of them hasn't created their own version yet to give them an excuse to up the price.
Dellix anyone? - motang, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Sweet, but they really should offer that over here also, maybe soon.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It's funny but Kubuntu is no where near as stable or feature rich as Ubuntu. I made the switch from K to Ubuntu and there are some big differences. I still like the appearance of KDE better but oh well.
- Samurailink3, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Score another one! I for one welcome our new penguin overlords.
- Gryffydd, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2You could always install KDE on Ubuntu you know... Ubuntu+KDE != Kubuntu.
- openguru, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Long Live Linux :)
- omarciddo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Well it's only in Australia for now. No immediate impact in the states, I think.
- SpringBoy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1With major vendors starting to offer Linux systems, hopefully some pressure will start building up for Linux drivers to be released. I believe Dell has has said they try to get good driver support for all the hardware they use in their systems. If HP and everyone start doing that then you can bet that hardware manufacturers would start seriously considering Linux drivers as a means to stay competitive.
- McTendo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Wow, really? O.o
I have an HP laptop and Ubuntu, SUSE and Xandros all worked fine on it. I want to say I have a 250N but I'm not sure if that's correct or not. - jepizacar, on 08/24/2008, -0/+1nice resource....

http://jeniya.info - caleb4mj, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Can't wait for the openmoko of PC manufacturers to pop up out of nowhere and give these big players some real and serious competition. Don't think it can't happen. It probably already has and we just have yet to hear about it. An OLPC style community project could innovate a bit around the typical business machine and offer products clearly not designed for Vista. I'm thinking mesh networked office PCs w/o cables, distributed apps, etc. Make it so efficient they can't afford to compete. Work smarter, not harder. Sell a useful tool when all the competition sells is crap.
- Aleister76, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, I've never had any major problems with Linux before. Some of my college teachers say it's because my laptop is very new and Linux takes about a year to catch up with new hardware. Since HP is now supporting Red Hat hopefully I'll be able to get Linux running on it soon.
- sqrt7744, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I just searched the australian HP page and couldn't find any reference whatsoever to this desktop with linux. I only found versions with either Vista or XP: http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/au/en/sm/WF25a/1090261-1139371-1139371-1139371-12999422-12999474.html
Has anyone actually been able to *find* the computer? - dugem1, on 01/26/2008, -0/+1That's great find

I ran a 64-bit Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty CD on my 64-bit HP notebook, and it repeatedly conked out when trying to run the LiveCD. But then again, this laptop has been giving me trouble (on Windows) since I first got it for Christmas; the wireless card just died on me this week.
Oh, and tech support *really* blows. - GMorgan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Few of them would have the resources and expertise to truly pull it off. Unless their special version was little more than custom artwork and a few applets to tie into their customised hardware.
- Aleister76, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2I just bought an HP laptop. Almost none of my Linux distros work on it. Lots of the main distros like Ubuntu wouldn't even boot and I can't get wireless or audio in any of my distros on my HP. I just downloaded Fedora and I'm trying to see if one of the Linux teachers at my College can get it to work.

- purpmint008, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Linux: Why I Quit.
Right next to it...wonderful idea! - Carroarmatozero, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Dell has a shot to make it's Linux adventure a big success... they should hurry to get their Linux solutions world wide so to remain the market leaders. So please Dell people if you're reading this, please send your laptops to Belgium will ya? ;)
- da420, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0Please, read the article, and if little words such as "will" are hard for you to understand, I suggest going back to elementary school please.
- BHSPitMonkey, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2HP will be shaken to learn that you Dugg their decision with hesitance.
- trenchfever, on 10/10/2007, -1/+0personal preferance, yes. but kde looks kinda flimsy and kludgy for me. Gnome appears more straightforward and solid. No flames intended :-0
- caleb4mj, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0For example, I think laptops should have VGA-in connectors so they could be used as portable displays. Standardize on resolutions like 1280x1024, not 1280x800. And we need a new network filesystem that's designed for P2P mesh networks, with redundancy and security in mind. Think RAID6+ over ssh with good security and access controls, where the data is stored on each node in an encrypted partition, or as a bunch of small XOR files if the filesystem can handle it efficiently. Each node should have its own RAID to avoid problems with disk failure/data loss and the overall redundancy of this network filesystem should be as scalable as the security. We should be able to say this is a really important file, keep N copies of it online at all times, this other file not so much, etc. But it would have to scale up to PB sizes for enterprise use. :P But the advantage of a properly configured network like this might be a cost savings on cables, routers and servers. Think grid without a closet. P2P. Mesh.
- trenchfever, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0Get the alternate install CD (ubuntu), install a command line system and take it on from there. That may take some tweaking but that may just solve your problem. if not, can help your figure out what the problem is.
