Short summary: HP have claimed that installing Linux on a server means 
they don't have to honour the hardware warranty.

It's irrelevant here as such a claim would be breach of contract under 
English law. A clause in the contract limiting the software you are 
allowed to run would be unreasonable there therefore void if the hardware 
is general consumer kit.
