I spent the past few days hacking my new HP DV6000 Pavillon laptop. It came out with Vista Home Premium but I wanted to use Ubuntu 7.04. It was NOT easy. It seems this laptop uses very new HW (wireless, sound, graphics) so I had to really find a solution for many issues.

The Internet is fantastic. With a good combination of Google searches and Ubuntu Forums, I was able to find out about:
- WUBI (to install Ubuntu directly from Vista, because the CD would hang during installation)
- NVIDIA new drivers
- installing the new Linux Kernel (Gutsy)
- compiling and installing the Alsa drivers
- installing the Intel wireless drivers

The most amazing thing is that now everything works :-)
