It's great to see Linux being offered as an alternative operating system on commercial desktop/notebook systems.

HP now sell systems such as this with Linux offered as an alternative pre-installed OS.

Flexibility is what the consumer wants, and ultimately is what the consumer should indeed receive. I always think that a completely "clean" OS-less system should also be an alternative, as well as a range of Windows and UNIX based operating systems - the end-user should be free to decide what he/she wants on their new machine.

Things are certainly looking up!

Cheers

Nice Stuff, Indeed!

Linux is really spreading steadily while making wise moves. The time has come for an open source choice whether it is OS or Firefox. One simply cannot ignore the ripples created by such events.

Linux Notebooks are welcome, more than the windows ones!
