You provide very little information about the sound chipset, the video chipset etc so it's difficult to determine how difficult it will be and impossible to advise you in any way. However I have not heard a report of any Thinkpad in which it was impossible to install Linux. There were problems with floppy drives at one time, some of the sound and video circuitry is a bit strange and takes some effort to get right (I recommend VESA frame-buffer if you have a VESA BIOS)., but it should work. BTW Nettiquite suggests that you have a maximum of 4 lines of signature at the end of your messages. I notice that you use 6. -- My current location - X marks the spot. X X X
