hp pavilion 5150
i got an hp a wile ago, and it has windows 2k on it. however, i wanted to put
linux on it and was wondering about a couple of things.
1. i have read up on the ir technologies and they all seem to work with linux.
however, i was wondering whether, when i get in front of a printer with my
laptop (when linux is installed on it), whether i would have to have a seperate
printcap file depending on the printer i go to or what?
2. i have a usb intella mouse (one of those little m$ lazer optical mice), and i
was wondering whether linux would work with it at all, and if so, whether x
would either disable the touchpad and give the mouse free reign or whatever?
3. if the modem will work on it? - i couldn't find what the "make" and/or
"model" of it is on hp's web site, so i can't look it up on the net.
4. if there are any quarks with this laptop that i need to know about with
running linux on it?
thanx
