I bought a refurbished T40 from Tigerdirect in Summer '07 and it's still going strong. The fan developed some noise about 9 mths ago due to Lenovo using cheap bearings from what I heard.
Seems to work well w. most Debian. Although the Radeon video drivers w. the 'Buntus exhibited some weird display behavior where if I moved the lid too much the screen was just a bunch of colored unorganized pixels and I had to reboot. This has never occurred w. any Debian distro. I tried Arch a few times, but always had probs w. install and/or running. Opensuse ran well on it too, but I ddn't care for it. Never tried Slack or Gentoo, but as I mentioned in an earlier post, there's plenty of sites where people document their experience w. Thinkpads and Linux distros. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
