Yeah, I did notice after I posted that, that on 2 otherwise identical
models, the Windows version came with 12 gig of drive while the Linux one
came with 20.  That seemed to be the major difference.

And I know it's not that Linux *needs* more, so it's some sort of marketing
thing.  I would have thought that the Linux model being more cost effective
would be it's own selling point, but then maybe they don't want it to seem
"cheap".
