Got to play with a mini note yesterday and decided that I will probably get one at some point.
Decided to price one out via HP's website and was immediately confused.
The mini note was being offered as having a linux option as well. It might but NOT if you are planning on purchasing it direct from HP.
The options are Vista home basic or Vista with XP downgrade.
I know I could buy it with Vista and reload Linux on to it BUT I didnt want to do that, I wanted to buy a machine WITHOUT MS influence, besides with Vista it is 200+ usd more expensive..
