I got it at Best Buy and tried to ask them about putting Linux on it. They punted, but mentioned how there might be a problem since maybe the BIOS was actually mixed in somehow with the XP installation--but they weren't sure. In other words, put it on at your own risk. Does anyone have any experience with this sort of issue?
