The 6325 has the buggiest ACPI you're likely to encounter - it has exactly the same bugs as the 6125. There are several ACPI bugs that don't yet have kernel workarounds.
Don't buy this! My experience with HP notebooks over the last three years (even in Windows) with clients has been consistently bad enough that I feel I need to tell people to avoid it. Rather get an Acer - they cost about the same and seem to be far better quality hardware and more Linux friendly.

The reason for this was that the notebook fell off a table a couple of times. I have an NX6125 that has also worked well. The only issue I had with it was the wireless (broadcom). 10.2 comes with bcm43xx.ko as the driver, and you need the firmware. The versions of the bcmwl5.sys that I had were incompatible with fwcutter (also part of 10.2). Solution, read the fwcutter docs, download a bcmwl5.sys, run fwcutter to extract the firmware into /lib/firmware, and bcm43xx.ko works fine. I did have some initial growing pains with ndiswrapper when I first got the laptop where I had to run ndiswrapper with the -d option, but after that the wireless was flawless. I have no complaints about Acer, but I do know that HP is a very strong supporter of Linux and has been setting up regional Linux Expertise Centers. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
