I want to install linux on my laptop and want to make sure that there are no compatibility problems with your product. I first tried to install fedora core 6 and it would not operate properly, even with the attempts to resolve the matter by very experienced users. I wanted to make sure that your product will be completely compatible with my computer. I have a new HP dv9000 17 inch widescreen laptop with 2 100GB hard drives, and nvidia gforce praphics card, bluetooth, and an AMD processor. Thanks havving made some meager attempts to install linux on a couple older laptops, I can say it is not easy. First stop has got to be: www.linux-laptops.net you've had trouble with fc6... what sort of trouble? details on what the problems were would help us a lot. also, a complete listing of the hardware would be good to. It is likely that you could get linux installed and operating, but you will likely *not* get all the hardware working as well as it should. .02 good luck. A
