Fred I have been running Linux, mostly Redhat flavors, for a long time mostly on Thinkpads but some other IBM/Lenovo laptops for a long time. Never have had a problem. Currently running Fedora 26 on a X260, two with Centos 7.4, X200 & X220, all used for software development. HTH Red Hat provides Lenovo Thinkpad machines to employees, so almost everything for RHEL (and therefore CentOS) works with those. Also the X1 Carbon. I suspected that for a long time. I've used lots of thinkpads with Fedora & Centos and never have had a serious problem. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos -- Roger Wells, P.E. leidos 221 Third St Newport, RI 02840 401-847-4210 (voice) 401-849-1585 (fax) roger.k.we...@leidos.com ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
