FWIW I was a member of Silicon Valley LUG a couple of years ago, and at one of their installfests someone came in with an HP laptop. We tried and tried to get ANY linux to run on there but were unsuccessful with RH, SuSE, and even Gentoo. Things might've changed but I am sticking with a Thinkpad when I get one, IBM has been creating linux-friendly hardware for quite awhile. My .02

Btw., i'm currently using Compaq R3000, and everything works, more or less. I did have to use ndiswrapper for wireless, and wait for FC3 before my sound started working. Other than that, except the the built-in modem, and the fact that i can't turn off/on wireless using the hardware (have to do it from UI or command line) everything works. Desktop sounds on Gnome are a little weird, but that's probably a gnome thing. KDE sounds, and movies, and music play just fine.
