Erik, A subset of the new HP ProBook range (announced today in the US), the 4710s specifically, are able to be ordered with SuSE 11 installed. There are no announcements for Australia yet, and also no guarantees they will have the same OS options here.
Product specs are here :- http://h71016.www7.hp.com/dstore/SubFamMatrix.asp?ProductLineId=539&FamilyId=3025&jumpid=re_R295_store/busproducts/computing-notebook/hp-probook-notebook-pc&psn=notebooks_tablet_pcs/notebook_pcs And yes, I do find it a little frustrating that they aren't more comprehensive in the Linux support across the range.
