HP nx9030 laptop

I got a new laptop today: the HP nx9030.

UPDATE: First I tried out Knoppix 3.4 - this booted into KDE , but there were some kernel oops messages during the boot.It failed to detect the ethernet card. I then installed Mdk 10.0 , but X didnt load when i rebooted. No matter - i'm grabbing the 10.1 isos images right now.
