I have a Thinkpad T20 and linux works great on it. I know when it was brand new there were some tricky things you had to do to get it to work, but I was able to search google for "linux on a thinkpad t20" and find lots of helpful information. I can't imagine these days that IBM would make a product that doesn't support Linux. The future is open[1] after all. In the end, I don't have much help to offer other than, search google. I'm sure you'll find something.
