I don't know what it is about HP Pavilions.  It's not like they're Dells 
which use proprietary parts.  To the best of my knowledge all of the HPs 
come with MSI mobos.

We just got a HP Pavilion a1130n (AMD Athlon64 3500+ CPU, MSI mobo w/ATI 
Radeon Express chipset). last fall   Try as I might, Ubuntu completely 
balked at installing.  The live CD was worthless too.

I wonder what it is that's causing this to happen?  Are HP owners doomed 
to a life Without Linux? ;-)
