I work in the Linux Expertise Center in Marlborough. We generally work with 
servers. The PC division is a totally separate division with the Compaq and 
HP Pavilion branding. We have a very strong group of Linux people inside of 
HP. As far as a big company goes, HP is probably very Linux friendly. 

And, as I said, I had a few problems installing the driver, mainly I forgot 
the "ndiswrapper -d", and this was needed with the 64-bit driver. I just 
downloaded the driver from one of the resources I found.
