Another reason to virtualize
A woman bought a Compaq laptop and loaded Ubuntu on it. Some time later, still well inside the 1-year hardware warranty, the keyboard started acting up. An HP support rep told her, "Sorry, we do not honor our hardware warranty when you run Linux."
If you are wanting to try out linux, the best way is in a virtual machine... and HP will still honor their warranty.

HP should hire Linux experts since they should know more and more people are going to start using Linux.

Jim said "I would love to see the code for this." Go get the source code to Bochs at http://bochs.sourceforge.net/. It has allowed you to run Windows/Linux on SPARC for years. And it's free.
