I did notice that my wireless led light blinks orange and blue while running Mint (so it blinks off and on), strange indeed, but the wireless connection works great anyway. The Touchpad and mouse work fine as do volume controls on my keyboard that can control Rythmbox.

Everything seems to be working great, though I have not had a chance to see if the HP dv2000 integrated web cam works yet (have to try out Skype in Mint). I have had no issues at all in terms of compatibility between Linux Mint 10 and the HP dv2000 laptop. I have only had Linux Mint 10 running on the HP dv2000 for a day, but so far I am impressed. It is really easy to install Linux Mint 10, and it is all done in an elegant fashion. This is the time where you can partition the drive or just install it over your previous OS. When you re-boot your machine you will have an option to boot Linux Mint 10 from the disc and go through all of the options (or just run it from the disc and take a test drive without installing it). From there on you will go through Mint menus that are easy to navigate.

Note, as soon as you burn Mint 10 on the disc, you will put it in your drive, then restart the machine. Also on the Linux Mint 10 website you will find a PDF guide that serves as a manual, which will guide you through burning the disc and serves as a user guide. Search Linux Mint 10, and you will find the website with links to different mirrors that you can download it from. I downloaded the Linux Mint 10 ISO (the OS file) on to my machine and then burned it on to a 700MB disc using Infrarecorder (infrarecorder is free program that works great and works for windows).
