Horton heard a Who named Peter saying:
http://apcmag.com/7034/hp_launches_red_hat_linux_pc
"...Hewlett-Packard, the worldâ?Ts largest PC manufacturer, has announced
it will start selling Linux-based PCs from $AU600 in Australia....."

To bad they aren't doing laptops as yet. I phoned then in the States
and enquired. Said they tried that and it didn't go over well.
Therefore, they ceased to sell them. Yet, Dell's FreeDOS machines
are reported to work with Linux. Although, the answer was supplied
with a bit of doubt in their voice, I thought.

1) go to http://goodbye-microsoft.com
2) replace existing operating system.
