i don't know what it is? today i read an ad in the times of india (pune) by compaq for its one the laptops. it says it has pre-installed linux version 9.1. first i thouoght the ad is given by some local retailer, but it was not. it is an official compaq-hp ad. but "linux version 9.1"???? not a mistake to be made by company of this size.
I guess what they meant was "Suse Linux Desktop Edition 9.1" that's what they bundle with the product.But they should have been more precises.

hmm would call it a blunder and sheer ignorance on the part of HP. Imagine IBM doing this.

Someone should tell them. I am sure the HP / Compaq guys in India have absolutely no idea of what is happening on linux.
