    Just bought an HP Compaq 2230s!!!

    Didn't even bother whacking Vista on here just installed linux straight away everything works fine apart from the gfx resolution but not a problem as I'll download the drivers from the opneintel developer site and start building them into the system. May have to regenerate kernel headers or recompile it completely not sure yet of what's going on is a bit too soon.

    All I wanted to say is that this system rocks and I plan to buy another one in a few months for use with FreeBSD and Solaris too :))

    [EDIT]Just checked out Gnome2 on here and it's fine meaning GFX driver is ok there's a bug with KDE4 :)) I will let the developers know!!
