When small companies announce they’re putting Linux OS on a computer (http://www.elokcomputer.web.id) it makes news. When they announce they’re putting it on a laptop it’s even bigger news. Now you’re beginning to realize how big a deal it was when computer giant Hewlett-Packard announced they were selling a laptop with Linux inside.
Hewlett-Packard is now taking orders for their nx5000 business notebook computers (http://www.elokcomputer.web.id) with Novell’s SuSE Linux 9.1 installed. I’ve happy to report that the combination is a winner.
The nx5000 (which H-P also sells with Windows) is a medium-sized notebook (http://www.elokcomputer.web.id): 12.9 by 10.9 by 1.4 inches, with a weight of 6 pounds. My test model came with a 1.4 GHz Pentium M processor, a 40 GB hard drive, 512 MB of memory, a DVD ROM/CD RW drive, 802.11b WiFi, a modem port, a 10/100 Ethernet port, 2 PC card slots, a SD card slot and a 15-inch XGA screen.
