Don't buy HP computers

[Karl F. Larsen]

    I have a Presidio CQ50 laptop from HP. I did the necessary moving of 
partitions around so I could load Ubuntu. I have 8.11 and 9.04Beta 
installed and running quite well. A problem occurred that kept WiFi from 
working. The problem is that the wifi hardware is turned off by Vista 
when you stop it.

    Contacted HP both by email and on a live chat devise. Both ended 
with statements that Linux has not been tested on this computer and is 
therefore not approved by HP.

    What they were saying is the computer they find the information from 
has nothing in it about Linux. There is no Linux drivers available.

    So don't buy HP laptops if you want to use Ubuntu.
