Hi Jim,
Disclaimer: I work for HP on the linux.helpcustomers Programme. We try to help customers regarding Linux on HP products.
Whilst we don't certify or test Linux on any of the consumer Pavilion range, the Pavilion P6310de looks like a safe bet in terms of hardware specification. As already noted the things to typically look out for are the NIC and Graphics Chipset.
You can view a list of products on which we do certify Linux here: www.hp.com/go/linuxdesktop
Typically we offer Novell SLED on our business notebooks and desktops. In some ways this gives a good indication of hardware which plays nicely.
Kind Regards,
Lester
I got this box today and plan on setting it up in the morning with SuSE 11.2 64bit and Windows 7 as a dual boot system. Thanks! JIM

Hi all,
I'm thinking about buying a HP computer (Pavilion P6310de). It comes with Windows 7 and I want to add SuSE to it. Can anyone tell me good or bad things about HP computers? Do they play nice with Linux?
disclaimer: I used to work for HP
I have a elite m9250f The network card was not recognized until a recent kernel upgrade needed the (r8169 module did not work needed to use r8168 module)
The TV card still does not work it is a haupage 1800
Otherwise , the Vista that was on it only lasted long enough to make the restore DVD.
I have 7 HP computers in sight at the moment and only 3 IBM's
