HP expands Linux PC line to Asia (News.com)
News.com reports
that HP will be selling Linux PCs in Asia. "HP's desktop models, the
dx2000 and cd5000, were announced--barely--last week. In that news release,
HP avoided touting the Linux option, saying that the systems were available
with Microsoft Windows "or alternative operating systems." In interviews,
though, HP said the models came with MandrakeSoft's version of
Linux."

PC's in Asia Posted Mar 16, 2004 18:40 UTC (Tue) by ccyoung (guest, #16340) [Link] many of the name brand PC's in Asia come loaded with an operating system, usually Knoppix, showing the computer runs, generally waiting for the dealer or owner to put an illegal copy of MS over the top.
