   Hi users, posters and writers.   
      
   	When i got the new HP Pavilion lPTP.15-N225NR I tried to boot   
   several distributions but Kubuntu was the one I installed for various   
   reasons one being inexperience hands-on with the UEFI/EFI systems.   
      
   	At the LUG meeting this afternoon it was a slow day with only 3   
   members on hand so I tested the latest Mageia 4.1 in the KDE Install   
   only version and this time the Hardware Detection worked and I got to   
   peruse the several pages of information it gave me.  Cool but I decided   
   to take a look at the Live 4.1 KDE and it was very good and I decided to   
   install the 4.1 later if I could justify it.  I also tried out Mageia   
   Live Gnome, then Fedora 20-1 which had Gnome, and from a friend's hand   
   assembled SSDD to external USB 3.0 case with Ubuntu 14.04 and all worked   
   very well but I don't care much for Unity nor Gnome.   
   	Finally I tried booting my Kubuntu 14.04 but for some reason   
   it would not get the WiFi running.  On all those other distros that   
   I booted up each was able to run the WiFi.   
      
   	I looked up the procedure for fixing this afternoon and it seemed to be   
   much more complicated than installing Mageia 4.1 so I   
   converted over to Mageia earlier this evening.   
   	The Mageia installer left /home alone so that the backup   
   work I did was not needed and it only took an hour and a half.   
      
   	A further note is that the Fedora 20-1 booted up without   
   intervention on my part.  They really have the UEFI/EFI with GTP   
   down cold booting down cold maybe because they paid for the MS   
   key?  On a reboot I noted that it had moved the DVD drive to default   
   boot position in the menu.
