Nah. HP-UX runs on PA-Risc processors. I think they just are still to damn afraid to piss off Microsoft plain and simple.
well I did only use HP as an example, but I think you are right in part (that they are hesitant to piss off microsoft). I think another reason for not pre-installing linux, is that it is costly to setup and maintain the driver verification and system imaging process. And there is real question as to whether there would be a market that would make it profitable to do so. that's why I think that SUSE should change the install process, to enable a "system hardware" cd to be referenced. I don't really see why Novell could not, in partnership with HP, put together the correct drivers/support software for a given set of systems specs. Then HP could make the ISO available to download, or it could be shipped with a system if the customer asked for the SUSE linux option.
