I've used several Thinkpad models and all support Linux very well, including support for the "special keys", bluetooth, wireless and possibly even the fingerprint reader (haven't tried it and it isn't bundled yet with major distros). Didn't have any problem at all in installation and day to day usage, though the Intel GMA versions might be a bit problematic if you don't use the most recent X.org version with the new (and "experimental") intel mode setting driver. Also I wasn't very successful with using 3D acceleration with the ATI versions - even with ATI's binary driver. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
