HP putting Linux in PC

In a sign the Linux operating system may be gaining traction beyond servers and other back-room systems, Hewlett-Packard Co. said Tuesday it will be the first major PC maker to ship a business notebook computer pre-installed with the open-source software. The HP Compaq nx5000 will feature Novell Inc.\'s SuSE Linux and support a CD burner, a DVD and media player, wireless connectivity and the OpenOffice software suite. It will start at an estimated street price of about $1,140 — about $60 less than the basic model outfitted with Microsoft Corp.\'s Windows XP Professional operating system.
