http://www.linux-on-laptops.com is a great site to find out how Linux might work on a particular device for a variety of distributions including Debian.
This is the HP page http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/hp.html
This is a page for your notebook, I think, for an Kumbuntu which is a Debian variant. It looks like the only issues are with the mapping of the function keys. If you can live with that you should be good to go.
