HP user group looks for Linux desktop from vendor

| "We are urging [HP] to do this," Illgen said. "Vista requires a very
| expensive PC." For instance, the Microsoft Corp. operating system needs at
| least 1GB of memory, but 2GB is "really the minimum," according to Illgen,
| who is a senior systems administrator at a restaurant chain that he asked not
| to be identified.
|
| Illgen said he is running Linux on a desktop PC with a Pentium 4 processor
| and 512MB of memory, and the system is "doing everything I need to do and
| then some."

H-P, just like Dell, will do this in due course. They probably just wait for
RHEL desktop version to actually come out. Businesses and worldwide coverage
is inevitable.
