Linux Voids Netbook Hardware Warranty

Want to put Linux on a netbook made by HP? You'd better think twice about that, unless you want to void your warranty.

Installing a different operating system on a computer does not change its hardware. This is a simple enough concept...unless you work in technical support for HP. Their phone tech support have joined their Geek Squad colleagues in insisting that a Linux-infested laptop was no longer under warranty.
