By Marc Spiwak, CRN
HP recently released its first ever Linux notebook. The HP-Compaq nx5000 now
gives buyers the option to choose SuSE Linux 9.1 HP Edition as the operating
system. The machine supports Pentium M or Celeron M processors, and the 15-inch
display is available in XGA or SXGA resolutions. The notebook includes
integrated wireless, a 10/100 NIC, 56K modem, two USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, serial
and parallel ports, and two PC Card slots. HP chose KDE 3.2 as the GUI, and
includes the latest version of LinuxOpenOffice. HP's edition of the OS supports
power management, communications, multimedia applications, CD burning and more.
Certain features are not supported, however. The SD Card reader does not work,
the machine cannot burn DVDs, and it is not Centrino certified. Product Name:
