I recently installed Fedora 13 on a USB 3.0 equipped Envy 15 laptop with Core i7 processor. First the hardware specs:

• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-720QM Quad Core processor (1.6GHz, 6MB L3 Cache) with Turbo Boost up to 2.8 GHz
• 4 GB RAM
• ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5830 Graphics
• NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 controller
• BIOS ver: F.28

This would be a really short blog since Fedora 13 is smart (read: Advanced) enough to hit the ground running on HP mini 5102 netbooks. The only tweak you might have to do is installing wireless driver from Broadcom. Marvell Ethernet NIC works fine out of the box on Fedora 13, thanks to 2.6.33 kernel.

For wireless, here is what you need to do:

You basically have 2 options:

1- Install the driver manually
2- Install it through RPMfusion

I cannot think of any reason why you would want to go with option#1 since it'll make you do the drill every time you have a Kernel upgrade, which is quite common in with most Linux distros. If you still want to go with option#1, please jump to the end of this page.

This is how you can install wireless drivers using RPM fusion:

rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-...

Linux has its place and I think that is the server world. I am sorry to all the fans that want to struggle through the desktop headaches of running a Linux box. Correct me if I am wrong but it just does not keep up with the major programs that everyone needs to work on in their day to day personal and work lives.

As a musician I tried installing the Debian release when I had little money and did not want to fork out the big dollars for some of the other programs like Cubase and Logic. so I installed Linux and Rosewater and was quickly on my way to creating music for free. That was short lived when I had to find a way to make money it just made sense that I would do that on a computer. You just can't get the programs you need consistently on a Linux box.

I hve tried various solutions but I can not get my wireless to work. It ia an Ateros adapter which linux sees but can not activate it. Has anyone had problems with this config?

Just a note that HP has released a proliant support pack for Ubuntu 9.10 ('karmic').
