This is fantastic news.  I will be in the market for a laptop shortly and I 
have been leaning towards Dell because there seems to be some success with 
them, but if HP/Compaq laptops will be Linux certified, that means there is a 
good chance there will be no ACPI problems and things liek modems and nics 
should work easily.  I will keep my eye out and if this is true, I will be 
the first in line to buy one.
