    Can someone tell me how HP's latest tablet Pavilion tx2500z gets along with linux? I'm joining as a grad-student at UW-Madison and am thinking of buying this for school use..

    Specifically,
    - does the webcam work fine?
    - does the sound card work fine?
    - does the wifi card (I'm looking to buy 802.11b/g/n) work fine?
    - does the touch screen work fine?
    - any success with running compiz-fusion?
    - does bluetooth work fine?
    - any other observed issues?

    I'm thinking of going with the OpenSUSE distro.
    It would be awesome if someone can try the opensuse livecd on their box for me and let me know; but info on any variant of linux would be really welcome.
