what is the best distro for HP laptop?

[Clive DaSilva]

I inherited an older Dell Precision M60 from my wife. My experience that any
Ubuntu distro (pre-Unity) works really well. Right now, I am running Fedora
17 on it and it flies as did OpenSuse 11.0 and onwards. Linuxmint (any
version) also works really well

My two bits

I've got Ubuntu 10.10 (upgraded from 10.04) running on an old HP nx6120.
Everything seems to work fine strait from the install, with no additional
effort on my part. I don't know if the modem works, though.
