[Preston] Linux on HP pavilion desktop

[Chris Tompkins]

I have two HP lappies.  An old one on permanent loan to my son, running 
Ubuntu something and I am typing this on an HP Pavilion dv9823em.

I started off with Ubuntu 8.04.  No difficulty getting stuff working 
except microphones and wifi.

IIRC, with Ubuntu 8.10 (or maybe 9.04) everything worked perfectly. 
(Even went into Linux super-smug mode)

I'm currently using Mint 9 Isadora, 32 bit edition.  Everything is fine. 
  No probs.  I'm planning to try out Mint 10 64 bit version later this 
month.

I'm with Mike Sharpe on this one.  Make sure you have an error free 
master disk and either clean your CD reader or use the USB stick option.

Good luck,

Chris
