I bought an hp pavilion second hand last year, not that I was really in the
market for a laptop but the price was right. The unit is 3 or 4 years old now
but still like new. It has an Athlon k7 running at 1.7 Ghz and 768 megs of
ram and an ati video card (previous owner was a gamer). It came with a
windows install disk but I immediately installed sarge on it and I haven't
looked back.
Similar experience...I recently picked up a new HP Pavilion (dv2130us),
mainly because of its small size/weight. I use it mostly with Windows
(main app is Windows only), but for yucks I swapped out the hard disk
and installed Kubuntu dapper. Install was very smooth, and all of the
traditional trouble areas (wifi, suspend, hibernate, etc.) worked
perfectly "out-of-the-box." I was impressed :)
