be carefull with this, if you buy an HP(at least in a store, dont know 
online) they will not give a re-install OS CD. the CD they give will 
wipe EVERYTHING on the disk, even other partitions(like Linux) and 
reimage the disk to the exact factory settings, with all the junk 
included. When calling tech support and customer service, we were told 
there is NO WAY to get just a re-install CD, and they even said 'you 
should not be running linux'... i assume they meant to add '... if you 
are buying prebuilt'.
