In an article I found recently, it looks like HP might be trying to compete with Dell in the U.S. (and other areas) desktop Linux market.  To me it looks like Dell has pushed HP into competition, and that’s good for us.  HP doesn’t want Dell to get entrenched in the market, and maybe they figure they can get some of the desktop users back if they do Linux better than Dell.  Which shouldn’t be hard from what I have seen.
