Will HP Follow Dell With Ubuntu Linux PCs?

,----[ Quote ]
| Initially, I was skeptical about Dell's decision to sell selected consumer 
| PCs with Ubuntu Linux pre-installed.
| 
| But after a few days of testing, I'm a skeptic no more. And I'm not alone. 
| Dell insiders tell me that the Ubuntu PCs, introduced in late May, are 
| selling well -- though they decline to share exact sales figures with 
| me.
|
| [...]
|
| Sources close to HP tell me the company hope to offer PCs with Ubuntu Linux
| pre-installed in a few months--or perhaps even a few weeks...
