Gentlemen,

My thanks to all who advised me about desktops. The new machine is
running just fine. 

The current problem is that I bought a laptop as a present for a friend
(HP Pavillion g6 - Costco special :-) ) and neither Opensuse nor Ubuntu
will install.

The interesting thing is that the Suse installer starts and configures
with no trouble, but the actual installation reports inability to
install the boot loader. Result is a dead machine.

Can it be that there is some hard-wired demand for Microsoft in the
bios?

Does anyone have any advice on things to try before I return the machine
as malfunctioning?
