Hello Calen, I'm not sure if HP Compaq nx6125 will be one of your choices. Currently, there are 2 minor problems that are known with that notebook and these are: [1] On-board WLAN chipset is Broadcom. So, in order to make use of your WLAN in GNU/Linux, you need to make use of ndiswrapper. [2] The fans will not work by default due to a kernel bug. You can check it by "cat /proc/acpi/fan/*/*" for more information. I'm not pretty sure if the latest kernel already fixed that bug. Good luck! :) --- MARVIN T.
