This section presents HP hardware supported today by Linux. Informations are based on the latest stable version of the Linux kernel, which is currently version 2.4.16. A development kernel (version 2.5) is also available but doesn't offer any guarantee of stability.
Page last updated the 2001-12-21.
That computer range is today the main set of HP machines supported by Linux, and that till many years. In case you didn't already do it before, some preliminaty readings are recommended before to try to install Linux on these platforms.
The Linux Installation HOWTO contains a great number of information to install Linux. If you bought linux on a CD-ROM, chances are that installation instructions are provided with it (the little booklet inside the disk case, and/or files on the CD).
The Linux Kernel HOWTO should be read to have details on kernel construction. I will just mention here points which are specific to HP hardware.
Outside particular indication, Linux support means during the installation of a RedHat/Mandrake type distribution. In special cases, a kernel rebuild will be necessary to support completely some hardware elements. You should note that what is true for one distribution is generally true for another, as these functions are linked to the kernel or the XFree86 server, and not to the distribution itself.
In case of problem, the first reflex should be to update the BIOS of the HP machine, and to verify whether the problem is always there. If yes, you may then contact HP support, if your configuration is supported by HP (This document focus on what is working, superset of what is supported, and has no value in that area). On the other hand, if your machine is working correctly, don't update the BIOS without reason, this is always a risked operation. BIOS updates are available from http://www.hp.com/cposupport/software.html
HP has a new program called "Freedom of Choice" on the whole desktop range. Linux is thus one of the operating systems pushed by HP. Cf: http://www.hp.com/desktops/linux/ and http://www.hp.com/pressrel/aug00/14aug00.htm.
A FAQ is also available.
HP insures the support of certified Linux hardware by the following method : all the machines have the Diagtool utility. If this utility indicates a problem, it's taken in account by HP maintenance. If it doesn't, it's considered as a software problem and should be reported to the distribution provider.
The following tables indicate the state of Linux support by these platforms :

CD-ROM, DVD and ZIP drives are supported by Linux kernel. Read the various HOWTO for their use, following the interface type.
Visualize systems come in two flavors: the p and x class systems are preinstalled, supported, and configured with Windows; the pl and xl class systems are preinstalled, supported, and configured with Linux. There is no hardware difference between the base systems, but the Linux image that is preinstalled on the pl and xl is customized so that all drivers for the systems are preconfigured -- there's no need to specify or tune the box and drivers.

A page dedicated to these machines and their support under Linux is available at the following address : http://www.hp.com/workstations/products/linux/index.html
A page of questions and answers on these machines is also available at the following address : http://www.hp.com/visualize/programs/news/archive/qa1.html
In particular, it's recommended to use a kernel 2.2.16 at least to support correctly the SCSI controller of these machines.
A beta X server for the FX2+, FX4+ and FX6+ cards is available at the following address : http://www.hp.com/workstations/support/software/drivers/linux/video/fxvideo/fx6/driver.html?
