I've got an IBM Thinkpad  Z60m and Thinkpad A21p on which Linux works great
(The A21p is running Gentoo 2006.0, and the Z60m is running Gentoo 2006.1).

That sounds like a good suggestion.  I've got a Toshiba Tecra that I

much more reliably [read: at all] with the new XGL stuff, if you care
about that).
