The "OS:" part would tell me that you can install either OS you have a license 
for.  However, the max of "16GB" would cramp most folks style with Kubuntu, 
but I bet its possible.

This sounds like something that'd be great for the kids!  Actually, now that I 
think about it, there's lots-o-things this little laptop could do for general 
use. 

Of course the spects never list what distribution of Linux is put on the 
thing.
