HP isnt selling the mini note in the US with Linux???

[Adragontattoo]

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..

Give them a call. There are several resellers that offer models with Linux. Call the direct and see what they have to say. Maybe they just don't offer it on BTO machines.
