With recent announcements of HP's plan to support linux on laptops in 
certain countries in Europe, I have a question. Are modifications to 
support the laptop takeing place upstreem at Ubuntu and Debian and Gnome 
and so on, or are changes taking place at HP locally only? Are they 
modefying the distrobution so that the instalation CD for regular Ubuntu 
would not offer all of the same functionality as the installation cd 
that HP destributes itself?  Basically what I am asking is, if the 
laptop models are sold in the USA, but Ubuntu simply is not destributed 
do you think it might be just as functional after I install a downloaded cd?
