<font face="Comic Sans MS">I would be careful of the HP laptops if
you're going to put linux on them. You might remember from a few
months ago the trouble I had with my HP desktop running linux. It
liked to lock up at random, sometimes within 20 minutes of booting
up, sometimes it might last a day or two. Recently my sister
asked me to put linux on her HP laptop. I did and it had the same
locking up at random issue.<br clear="none">
