They're shipping machines pre-installed with Red Hat 7.1. Unfortunately, checking their website shows that only business machines will have a Linux option; home machines are still WinXP only."

    And i'd like to order Linux. I very much doubt that there'd be too many people accidentally choosing the Linux option.

    If anythimg it'll lower the cost of their machines as they get out from the Microsoft tax, making them better options for us system builders.
