AFAIK, the DeskPro line was killed several years ago. I have an old deskpro in my office running Win2K and SuSE 9.2. It's interesting that there is a strong Linux program within HP (that pays my salary), but the low end desktop PCs are designed for Windows, as are Dells and Gateways. HP does have a line of Laptops with Linux installed. -- Jerry Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
