“HP’s most recent Linux workstations, targeted strongly to the
electronic design automation (EDA) market, will come preconfigured
with and ready to run Linux.”

“The Intel-based PL450 and XL550 will make their debuts this
quarter as the first Linux platforms in the Visualize product line,
emphasizing once again how enthusiastically HP has adopted
Linux…”

“Jollis noted that the workstations announced in April already
supported Linux in the 2D product line, but the systems announced
at DAC would be preconfigured. “We’re not just loading the
software, but configuring them to be ready out of the box with
Linux
,” said Jollis.”
