HP has been offering Linux somewhat quietly for quite a while for users, who prefer open source software over the regular pre-installed Windows. However, the program announced in North America in February of 2005, is only available through HP's "Factory Express " site. Corporations and individuals can use the service to choose Windows, Linux (such as RedHat), or HP UX 11i as the operating system (OS) for their new device.

Buying a preinstalled Linux desktop or laptop
Aug. 07, 2006
Analysis -- So you want to run Linux, but you really would rather have it preinstalled? Good idea. It's for those users that longtime LXer.com reader cyber_rigger started putting together his "Companies selling preinstalled Linux and no-OS" listing.
It may be fun installing a Linux distro and getting it to fit you like a glove, but sometimes even the most techie of us just want to sit down with a new box, turn it on, and get it to work without worrying about whether we need to download a WiFi driver.
Cyber_rigger's new list is for everyone who wants a low-end Linux desktop or laptop that just works. In other words, it's for home users.
It's the most impressive list of this type that I've seen. While the formatting is on the rough side, by using his links you can find many, if not all, of the smaller OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) and resellers that will be happy to sell you a fully-functional Linux desktop for under $1,000, or a laptop for under $2,000.
The list is set up so that you can easily find your favorite distribution.
