| HP user group looks for Linux desktop from vendor |
|---|
Hewlett-Packard's decision last month to sell desktop PCs with Linux installed on them in Australia is giving hope to Linux advocates at the Encompass HP user group that a similar system may be on its way in the US.
In August, HP announced a Linux desktop for small and midsize companies Down Under. The HP Compaq dx2250 system comes preloaded with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Desktop and can be equipped with several processors from Advanced Micro Devices, including its Athlon dual-core chip. The Linux-based system starts at AU$600 at the current exchange rate.
