[lug] hp laptops

[Alex Olivas]

i'm thinking about getting a hp laptop soon and was wondering if anyone 
knew of any problems
loading linux onto it.  a friend of mine told me a while ago it was a 
nightmare on their desktops.
something about needing hp drivers for everything and of course they had 
none for linux.
aside from this does anyone know about the general quality of hp 
pavilions?  i've had a hard time
finding any product reviews.
thanks,
alex.
