footnote 1 - HP systems can usually be ordered with a localization that affects documentation, keyboards, and other components. Typical Linux distributions are not installed as pre-localized, but the
user can choose a language and keyboard layout during post-installation configuration, or during the "first boot" when the OS comes preloaded on the system.
footnote 2 - Get the latest drivers, "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5," "HP Installer Kit for Linux - HP Driver CD for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6" and "HP Installer Kit
