[lug] hp laptops

[Shane Miller]

Well I work at hp and we are sending workstations out with linux loaded on 
it. If you move from the pavillion to the business line of laptops we offer 
linux installed on it from the factory. Since the pavillions are the bottom 
end I dont know what drivers are available. I can ask the linux team that 
works here in fort collins if they know of drivers for your model if you 
want.
