,----[ Quote ]
| Seems like everyone's getting into the low-end notebook market these days.
| Hewlett-Packard is the newest of the bunch to step up to the plate with its
| VIA-driven HP 2133 Mini-Note, a nifty-looking machine that clocks in at $499
| for a Linux edition. A little pricier than the ASUS Eee, but it looks like
| low-cost computing is one niche for Linux to derive wider market penetration.
