Mine is old by these days standards. P166, but it runs Linux solid.
It's an HP5700. I recently upgraded it to a 6 gig drive. Everything
works. C&T video, PCMCIA, SCSI, docking station, external scsi syjet,
scsi umax scanner, Spellcaster ISDN card in the docking station. I'm
running RH 5.2 and dual boot NT when I have to. Before this one I had
an HP5500 and it was just as comfortable running Linux. If HP has
stayed with a similar approach, on their later models, you shouldn't
have any problems. Big if though...
