Which one? HP has made many different models. As a general rule, HP is moderately Linux friendly (they've hired Bruce Perens, who used to be the Debian Project Leader, and thery've sponsored a project to write printer drivers for HP printers, and I noticed a couple of years ago that my web page on Linux on the Omnibook 5500 gathered a couple of hits per month from a .hp.com). My personal experience (years ago, with an Omnibook 5500CT) was that installing Debian was easy - well, okay, as easy as installing Debian on my desktop was at the time. You're probably better off checking www.linux-laptop.net, which has more information than you ever wanted to know about Linux on laptops, and checking the precise model you're interested in.
