That's a very good suggestion, and for most of us would be true anyway. I 
have never sent a HDD with user info to a repair department.  Too much 
potential for info leakage.

I suspect, as others have noted, that different business units are 
operating independently.  HP _certifies_ some servers for use with Debian 
so at least one of their business units has some Linux-foo.

Cheers,
