HP First Major PC Maker to Launch Linux-based Notebook

August 3, 2004

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) _ In a sign the Linux operating system may be 
gaining traction beyond servers and other back-room systems, 
Hewlett-Packard Co. said Tuesday it will be the first major PC maker to 
ship a business notebook computer pre-installed with the open-source 
software.

The HP Compaq nx5000 will feature Novell Inc.'s SuSE Linux and support a 
CD burner, a DVD and media player, wireless connectivity and the 
OpenOffice software suite. It will start at an estimated street price of 
about $1,140 -- about $60 less than the basic model outfitted with 
Microsoft Corp.'s Windows XP Professional operating system.
