I have used Debian on a Thinkpad 570 and its replacement the Thinkpad
X20, both ultrathin models with no diskette drive, no CD drive or
extra stuff at all. The X20 is slightly lighter and has a smaller
screen, but keeps the resolution of 1024x768.
I like the integrated NIC (Intel EtherExpress Pro, I believe) on the
X20 and I believe that the modem on the X20 might be a real one, not a
WinModem. I haven't used it, so I don't really know or care anymore,
but my current dmesg (run under OpenBSD on the X20) says:
"Xircom MiniPCI Modem" rev 0x00 at pci0 dev 10 function 1 not configured
