I use HP Elitebook 6930p and i have tried both Fedora 11 32 / 64 distribution and apart from the wireless got everything to work right out of the box. Had to fiddle around a bit with the module for sound but was easy to get it to work. -- "He who fights monsters should look to it that he himself does not become one." - Friedrich Nietzche -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
