I did just that recently, and ended up with a Thinkpad T43, and so far I have not found one thing that does not work with linux, and with suse(10.1) 95% of that was right out of the box(suspend hibernate networking etc). I have installed the ATI driver and also found a driver to get extended information form the battery...but thats all.
