Like acid_kewpie, use a more descriptive title for your thread. You will be more likely to get a reply and you won't piss people off.

I have an hp dv8000 and it works well with OpenSuSE. For nvidia drivers you will just need to download the rpm from the repository and that will be all set.

Everything else should work from the install.

Any distro would work all would require at least extras installed.
1.Nvidia Geforce 7150M(Mobile Version) - Install nvidia linux drivers
2. Coexant Cx20549 HD audio - Not sure which module that uses.
3. Broadcom Wifi - Either b43 module or ndiswrapper
4.Hp bluetooth - Install bluez-utils-cups

The Coexant Cx20549 HD audio, which really should be Conexant Cx20549 HD audio, should work as long as ALSA is installed.

try several live-evaluation CD's to see if you can get one to work with all your specs, then install it.
