The T42 I used until recently was the one with Centrino, and it worked very well under FreeBSD (though I believe I did have to download a driver for the wireless network.). A few other people in the office had the same model, and ran Linux on it (Suse and I think a couple of other distros), and I never heard of any compatibility problems. -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
