This gave me a good idea. I will test CentOS, PCLinuxOS, Granular and Mandriva
on the HP service laptop. Kubuntu works very well installed on it, but I had
trouble with printing. I also tested Knoppix, Damn Small Linux, Slax, NimbleX
and Puppy on it and all worked fine, no problem with anything (I did not test
printing) and I could connect to the Internet (DHCP without other fancy things)
instantly.
