A little quoting:
.....and is also 100% compatible with Red Hat and other Linux.....
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I don't see any mention in the article that says they /sell/ any that
way. The claim is just that the laptop will work with linux.
I don't find any mention of it on the site either. But the release (pdf
form, linked from the PR web page, and it says the same thing the link
says) is signed by William Blackthorn at CompAmerica. I presume that
means it's official.
