HP only has two minis that are Ubuntu Validated. It looks like HP is falling behind the curve, and consumers most likely will have to look to Dell to provide for their Linux needs. Apparently Dell is more pro freedom of OS choice.

Specifically the touchpad on/off button does not act as a hardware switch. It's not functional in Linux. How hard is it for HP to build a touchpad that can be turned off or on through hardware? You would think that after all these years, their engineers would know how to build a functional switch.
